Some one has to speak out against importing thousands of Muslim refuges mixed with Terrorists. I don't want my Tax dollars spent on Muslims we know nothing about, when we have hungry people and homeless on our own streets. Sorry. If you don't like your own Country, get together and fix it, same as we did. Don't think your going to come here and establish one here. And yes, some one needs to be watching the imported ones already here. They kill people, in case no one noticed.

My heart goes out to this grieving family. Don't know what to think in this situation.

Trump did say ban all Muslim at one point, if you put yourself in this father's shoes, of course he would view that remark as secondary wound.

This said, it is a sensitive topic/subject. I am glad that Trump at least had the courage to bring it up. We have politicians don't even want to use the term "islamic terrorism".

Ban all Muslims is wrong and is not practical, but obviously, something need to be done.

What would Captain Khan say if he was still alive? I believe he died fighting for the soldiers standing next to him, not politicians, not politics, not freedom. He fought for those who stood NEXT to him, his fellow soldiers. Combat to a lot of veterans, is about surviving and love. Nothing more/less.

I would let the parents talk, and take their words with a grain of salt .

Tough situation.

Heroism, Brotherhood and Sacrifice - something regular folks will never understand. May he rest in peace. Hopefully, this grieving family will finally find some peace they have been searching for.

Trump is truly a chunk of dog excrement.
I'd rep you again if I could, but since I can't what I will do is thank you for your service to our country.

This is the entire disconnect. Neither party is saying let anyone in. Both parties are saying vetting is necessary.

That's just another Trumpie deflection attempt away from the actual issue being discussed.

I would reply, if I know what to reply too. So far you made a bunch of posts, yet said nothing, except you don't like anybody. Trump really has you upset, doesn't he?

No its not a disconnect. The Democrats want thousands of them here, same as what the EU is doing, and has already brought many in. Go do your homework.

Trump supporters are having an increasingly difficult time defending Trump and this is a good example. His comments are more and more embarrassing. His campaign is in disarray and faltering at every turn. It is never his fault... he always finds a scapegoat. When quizzed about he RNC fiascos he said he just showed up - as if he had no role in it. And yet, we see these folks running out to look foolish on his behalf. Trump will only get more unstable as he moves forward and faces a humbling defeat... by a girl. He is already whining about the debates because, somehow, Hillary hoodwinked him and rigged the schedule. I expect him to pull out of the debates and blame Hillary... coward that he is.


Carry on, Trump cult members, you have nothing to lose at this point.

Trump's jealous that a man who speaks English as a second language can write and deliver a better speech than Trump can.

No not at all. Trump called for a "temporary ban" till we can distinguish who is friendly or foe. You need to keep up with the ever evolving Trump positions. Next week may be entirely different,

spoken like the true democrat that you really are....... Trump is not the one afraid of the media and answering questions, its Hillary who is hiding that refuses to give a press conference for over a year.

Hillary and the DNC is blaming everybody because they can't keep a secure server and got exposed how corrupt they operate.


But its all Trump's fault.
