It is a shame the Jewish religious leaders have to put petty politics in front of healing. Reminds me of the Pharisees, and Sadducees.

Trump blamed the leaders for not having security. Is that what a president does in a time of tragedy? It is when you elect a con job for president. He made it political.

No, he didn't. He said the outcome might have been different if there were armed guards. He never blamed anyone except for the disgusting piece of trash that carried out the massacre.

President Trump’s official response to the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting Saturday observed more than the usual rhetoric of unity. But one statement about the Jewish community of Squirrel Hill stood out: “If they had protection inside,” he told reporters, “the results would have been far better.”

It's blame.

It's blame.
It's a suggestion to improve safety. He's not blaming them for not having protection. He's saying if they had have had protection the results would've been better.

Surprise - a group of left leaning people don't want Trump to show up. So?


Many in Roseburg, OR didn't want Obama either. Can't please everyone.

People in Pittsburgh of all places, regardless of race, should appreciate Trump for supporting the steel industry and renegotiating some of the unfair trade deals that have allowed foreign countries to cheat the system and flood our nation with cheap Chinese and Indian steel.

What do you mean by unfair then? Global competition is unfair?

This simply creates more divisions and is troubling to me as a minority Republican. The left relies on racially based voting blocs.

I personally and many of my friends see liberals and Democrats as enemies who are more loyal to foreign interests, foreign countries, and foreign nationals (like illegals) than to America and Americans. When black or Jewish becomes equated with liberal, then blacks and Jews also become the enemy.

More important ever for minority and Jewish conservatives to speak up and be heard because many of us have un undivided loyalty to America. My own parents are Asian immigrants, and most people in my family proudly say that we are NOT world citizens, we are AMERICAN citizens. Citizenship that we've earned, not given for free.

Yet you have no problem when Trump is more loyal to countries like Saudi Arabia and foreign leaders like Putin than to the American people?

The only way to stop these nuts, and criminals with guns is to have armed resistance, whether it be hired security, or legal CCW holders. The Jewish Community is largely fine with being disarmed, and defenseless which has always surprised me considering the not too distant past.
