Trump pushes back at NYT reporter
"Trump, speaking to supporters in South Carolina on Tuesday, was defending his remarks about
Muslims in Jersey City supposedly celebrating 9/11 when he called out reporter Serge Kovaleski — whose Washington Post article Trump quoted.
Kovaleski, who now works for The New York Times, said recently he didn’t remember “thousands, or even hundreds, of people celebrating.”“Now the poor guy, you ought to see the guy,” Trump said, mimicking the reporter. “‘Uhh, I don’t know what I said. I don’t remember.’ ” yahoo

"Thanksgiving just came early for Donald Trump.

Russia - Turkey CRISES
"NATO faced being thrust into a new Middle Eastern crisis on Tuesday after warplanes from
member state Turkey shot down a Russian jet that Turkish officials said had violated their country’s airspace on the border with Syria.
The incident marked a serious escalation in the Syrian conflict that is likely to further strain relations between Russia and the NATO alliance.
Russian officials confirmed that a Russian Su-24 attack aircraft was shot down Tuesday morning but insisted it had not violated Turkey’s airspace.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said one of at least two pilots probably died during the incident, and a marine also was killed by apparent Syrian insurgent fire during a helicopter rescue operation to retrieve the downed airmen.

Paul on arm sales & migrants
"SEN. RAND PAUL: You don't have the right to be an American citizen. Most people don't realize this but refugees come here and immediately are put on welfare. There are whole agencies set up to put them in government housing, government cash assistance and they're basically put into our welfare programs...
One of the biggest supporters of Sunni terrorism in the world is Saudi Arabia, Qatar is up there, UAE is up there. Sometimes government, sometimes private donors. What I would say is no more sales of any arms to these countries until they start accepting refugees. The Gulf states have poured gasoline on this fire, they have not taken a refugee. Iran has not taken in refugees and they've been an arsonist in this situation as well. So those who live there need to step up and we need to say we're not going to sell arms to you anymore if you're not willing to do your fair share." ABC

Clinton threatens comics
"In what appears to be a first for a serious presidential contender, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is
going after five comedians who made fun of the former Secretary of State in standup skits at a popular Hollywood comedy club.
A video of the short performance, which is less than three minutes, is posted on the website of the renowned club, Laugh Factory, and the Clinton campaign has tried to censor it. Besides demanding that the video be taken down, the Clinton campaign has demanded the personal contact information of the performers that appear in the recording. This is no laughing matter for club owner Jamie Masada, a comedy guru who opened Laugh Factory more than three decades ago and has been instrumental in launching the careers of many famous comics. “They threatened me,” Masada told Judicial Watch. “I have received complains before but never a call like this, threatening to put me out of business if I don’t cut the video.” yahoo

I prefer it in the United States and not overseas where you’re making insults. It’s easy to toss a cheap insult when no one can respond, but let’s have a debate.

Trump on Paris attacks
“You’re going to have to watch and study the mosques because a lot of talk is going on at the mosques,” Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says on MSNBC when asked what should be done to protect U.S. citizens.
- “From what I heard, in the old days, meaning a while ago, we had great surveillance going on in and around mosques in New York City and I understand our mayor totally cut that out”
- Asked about possibility of France shutting mosques with radical ties and whether he’d do same as U.S. president, Trump says, “I would hate to do it, but it’s something that you’re going to have to strongly consider because some of the ideas and some of the hatred, the absolute hatred, is coming from these areas” yahoo

Dem Debate Analysis
"The event took place in the shadow of the horrifying attacks in Paris, and as such, the first section
focused heavily on foreign policy, an area in which Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley don't demonstrate much interest. Clinton came in for criticisms, but none really landed.
The second section turned domestic, and got more lively, but neither challenger really landed the body blows against Clinton they needed to. They had the material — her Wall Street ties, her more moderate take on the minimum wage — but she parried the attacks well, and was never caught unprepared. Sanders and O'Malley desperately needed big moments to give them momentum with the Iowa caucuses less than three months away. They didn't get those moments, and so Clinton won by default." vox

Weeks of protests over racial tensions have rocked the campus, leading University of Missouri president Tim Wolfe to resign on Monday. Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin also said he would step down at the end of the year.
But Trump argued that it was a "weak" move for the two leaders to step aside.
"I think the two people that
resigned are weak, ineffective people," he said. "I think that when they
resigned, they set something in motion that's going to be a disaster
for the next long period of time. They were weak, ineffective people."
Trump added: "Trump should have been the chancellor of that university. Believe me, there would have been no resignations."
He also slammed the "crazy" demands of the leading student-protest group, Concerned Student 1950, which, are a list of sweeping actions to address racial tensions at the school.
Those included that the
university increase its percentage of black faculty and staff on campus
to 10%, a handwritten apology, and a mandatory "comprehensive racial

Christie was demoted to undercard debate
"Christie delivered another strong debate
performance Tuesday, rekindling hope that despite a demotion to
the undercard event, the New Jersey governor’s natural charisma
and blunt style is giving the long-shot campaign a chance to build
momentum as the GOP presidential primary heats up.
Christie didn’t dominate a debate in which his trio of foes—Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Santorum—each had a handful of impressive moments during the hour-long event in Milwaukee. But his humor, firm grip on the issues, and—above all—unrelenting focus on likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton helped him rise above the fray.
He was at his best when his opponents, most notably the Louisiana Governor Jindal, tried to criticize his record as governor of the Garden State, deflecting the barbs to tell the voters watching at home who the real enemy is.

“And, you know, I understand that when the mainstream media covers immigration, it doesn’t often see it as an economic issue,” he continued. “But, I can tell you for millions — of Americans at home watching this, it is a very personal economic issue. And, I will say the politics of it will be very, very different if a bunch of lawyers or bankers were crossing the Rio Grande. Or if a bunch of people with journalism degrees were coming over and driving down the wages in the press.”

“And, I will say for those of us who believe people ‘ought to come to this country legally, and we should enforce the law, we’re tired of being told it’s anti-immigrant,” he said. “It’s offensive.” TheBlaze

Cruz, Jindal & Huckabee on Religous Freedom
"Protecting religious liberty was the focal point for Republican presidential candidates Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Gov. Mike Huckabee and Sen. Ted Cruz during the Freedom 2015 National Religious Liberties Conference in downtown Des Moines on Friday.
“Christians are under physical assault all over the world and Christian values are under assault right here at home,” said Jindal, of Louisiana. “Four more years of these radical left policies, we won't even recognize our country anymore.”
The two-day conference focused on religious liberty and Christian values. Organizers said 1,700 people registered for the conference and to see the candidates speak.
"Any president who doesn’t begin everyday on his knees isn’t fit to be commander-in-chief," Cruz, from Texas, said when asked about the importance of that the president fear God.
All three candidates took time to mention Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk who made national headlines after refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses. They all said she has the right to exercise her religious views.
“Who would have ever thought that an elected county clerk in Kentucky would be put in jail by a federal judge for believing exactly what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton believed about marriage just three and a half years ago?” Huckabee, of Arkansas, said. "Our religious liberties are under assault."
In order to protect religious liberty, though, Cruz said religious conservatives will need to leave their
homes on election night. He called Friday for those voters to energize pastors and other believers and remind them that “we have a responsibility, as scripture tells us, to be watchmen on the walls."
"If another 10 million evangelical Christians vote in 2016 and simply vote our values, we won’t be up at three in the morning wondering what happened in Ohio and Florida," Cruz said. "They’ll call the election at 8:35 p.m. because Christians would have turned this country around."
Following their speeches, Jindal and Huckabee each spoke with reporters about Cruz.
Jindal, Huckabee and Cruz are all competing for similar groups of voters, particularly evangelical Christians.
Huckabee was questioned on how he would garner voters, especially when candidates like Cruz are better funded.
"People need to ask themselves if they only want to vote for someone because they have money or because they have poll numbers, or because they're tested, proven and ready to do the job," Huckabee said, not mentioning Cruz by name. "You won't even hire someone to mow your lawn that has never started a lawn mower. You won't. So we're going to send someone to the Oval Office that has never ever governed?"
Jindal said he is prepared to debate Cruz anytime, noting that both of the candidates will be in Milwaukee at the same time next week.
"Ted Cruz, he loves to shut down the government over Obamacare, but he's yet to come up with his own plan," Jindal said. "All these guys talk about getting rid of Obamacare. We're the only one with a plan." DesMoinesRegister

The former secretary of state’s town hall at Windham High School on Monday afternoon is expected to attract at least 700 attendees. Given that size, the fire and police departments decided they would need to staff the event for public safety purposes.
Assistant Fire Chief Ed Morgan said he planned to have two firefighters and an ambulance on hand at the event, to the tune of about $300 in overtime. Police Chief Gerald Lewis said there would be some police officers — the number yet to be determined — costing no more than $1,000.
Morgan, Lewis and town administrator David Sullivan all emphasized that the decision was strictly a matter of public safety, not politics.

The former secretary of state’s town hall at Windham High School on Monday afternoon is expected to attract at least 700 attendees. Given that size, the fire and police departments decided they would need to staff the event for public safety purposes.
Assistant Fire Chief Ed Morgan said he planned to have two firefighters and an ambulance on hand at the event, to the tune of about $300 in overtime. Police Chief Gerald Lewis said there would be some police officers — the number yet to be determined — costing no more than $1,000.
Morgan, Lewis and town administrator David Sullivan all emphasized that the decision was strictly a matter of public safety, not politics. Morgan said he would make the same plans for a basketball game with as many attendees. - See more at: http://www.unionleader.com/article/20151107/NEWS0605/151109393#sthash.5PsAq9N7.dpuf

Muslim stabbing spree in California
"A handwritten manifesto carried by a California college
student whose stabbing spree Wednesday left four wounded bore names of
his targets, a vow “to cut someone’s head off” and as many as five
reminders to “praise Allah,” law enforcement authorities told
FoxNews.com, while insisting that neither terrorism nor religion appear
to be motives in the attack.
In the two-page document found in Faisal Mohammad’s pocket by the county coroner, the 18-year-old freshman wrote a numeric list outlining his plans of who he wanted to kill, and how, including beheading and shooting his victims, Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke told FoxNews.com
No. 27 was to ‘make sure people are tied down,’ No. 28 was “sit down and praise Allah,'” Warnke said. “I remember seeing four or five times, scribbled on the side of the two-page manifesto, where he wrote something like ‘praise Allah.’” FOX
