The Mayor of Philadelphia is the latest target of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Their feud began when Trump issued a statement calling for a halt of all Muslim emigration to the United States. The next day, Mayor Nutter was asked about Trump’s position and thoroughly denounced it.
“Certainly if I had the power to do so, the only banning that should be done is that of that person not being allowed in the city of Philadelphia,” Nutter said. “We have no place for that kind of ignorance and tolerance and lack of understanding of what our country is about.”
“He has taken a page from the playbook of Hitler: Demonize a group, blame that group for our country’s problems, and then seek to ban or eliminate that group as some kind of solution to a problem that does not exist,” the Mayor continued.
Nutter even called Trump “an asshole” later on in the press conference, which was held in response to an incident in which an unknown Philadelphia resident left a pig’s head outside a mosque.
Of course, it didn’t take long for Trump to respond via Twitter:

The Mayor shot back at The Donald in a radio interview with WHYY.
“He needs to focus a whole lot less on me. He does not know me at all, he doesn’t know anything about the city of Philadelphia,” Nutter said of Trump. “He needs to clean up the mess he’s been making, including yesterday, and apologize to members of the Muslim faith and citizens of the United States of America for his intolerable views.”
This episode comes amidst other controversies involving Trump and the Keystone State. For instance, he’ll be the guest at the PA Commonwealth Club luncheon on Friday. The Philadelphia Daily News also blasted Trump for his statement on Muslims which sparked another insult from the New Yorker.

Quite a lengthy rant there, Dave Francis. Does your psychiatrist know you are posting again?

Don’t forget your tin-foil hat to stop the “aliens”, or the government, from reading your mind or brainwashing you against Trump.
Make America Hate Again!
Strong but Wrong!
Do Americans really believe anything is going to change under the Republican Rino’s who sell their votes to the wealthiest bidder or the Democrats who will sell their soul to the devil, if they can retake the White House? With Hillary Clinton the front runner, a criminal with a sinister past that’s going back a few decades? She and her Liberal associates just hand out money to illegal aliens and the spongers who live of the rest of us. The GOP chain of command MUST win or lose the money that they collect as stringed puppets of the well-connected, corporate ownership and silent special interests that put their money into Super Pacs for the greed and corruption in Congress.
Entry into the United States as a lawful immigrant is based on the adherence to the US Constitution, and ends their allegiance to SHARIA Law. This archaic law is a serious danger to Western society and should never get a foothold in our nation. This is NOT about religion; this is about the butchering animals that apply it and national security. Women are treated like slaves and abused by their husband in many cases. Decapitations, stoning all based on medieval culture should never be approved for visas. Trump maybe cumbersome with his words, but he has the people’s safety in mind. Far more than this worthless president, who seems to disappear when an awful situations materialize and when he reappears with no real strategy to battle many national issues?
I am offering my vote to the Donald and so are my family circle, friends and quite a few old uniformed military and retirees, whether a Conservative or Independent. Americans proved they want an outsider, and a Vice President as Ted Cruz of Texas who would make an interesting partnership. If either party tries to disrupt the billionaires move towards the White House, millions of people will stay at home and it certainly will be the death of the Republican Party.
If you think that Jeb Bush, a Rino elitist; Hillary Clinton, a socialist, Bernie Sanders, an extreme socialist; Martin O’Malley, a Democrat; Ben Carson, a Conservative; Marco Rubio, a GOP establishment; Rick Santorum, a GOP establishment; Chris Christie, an GOP Governor; Mark Huckabee, a Conservative; Rand Paul, a Conservative; Carly Florina, GOP establishment; John Kasich, GOP Establishment. They get not ONLY a huge salary and benefits, but they collect huge amounts of money for campaigns and dollars for themselves.
I am voting for Donald Trump no matter what the spinners say about him. I am not falling for the propaganda and half truths that the brain dead party members do. I am voting for Senior Citizens, our vet warriors, the sick and those living in poverty caused by the pandering of giving benefits to millions of illegal aliens. that if Trump jumps to being an Independent, so will everybody in my circle of family, friends and some old military types that have never bothered to vote before; I suggest that the Republicans are cutting their own throats, as I am sure millions will join Trump?
Remember Trump will:
1. Build the Southern Border Wall. (Nobody else will do this) There is too much money for the GOP Elitists and Democrats to make money from cheap labor. 2. Trump will introduce MANDATORY E-VERIFY. This is what businesses are scared off, as they WILL be held accountable for using foreign nationals instead of Americans. Company owners will have nothing to protect themselves from the courts and heavy punishments. E-Verify and recruitment on a grand scale of internal ICE agents going from each business and checking job records will be mandated. US Border Patrol will deploy in larger numbers to remove illegal aliens caught at Trumps Wall.
Trump will rescind all of King Obamas illegal executive orders, such as a massive illegal alien amnesty. Revisit the Obamacare health care law and the federal budget that both parties are in collusion. Gun control will become none existence as everybody needs protection.
Trump will kill the rich stream of profits that business owners collect by using foreign labor, who earn well under American wages. Wealthy corporate and industry are determined to caste out American workers in large numbers and instituting cheap labor from foreign countries. Multiple reports seem to indicate that the must-pass omnibus spending bill could quadruple the H-2B worker visa program. Congress must pass a spending bill this week to avoid a government shutdown.
The omnibus could contain a bill co-sponsored by Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD.) and Sen. Thom Tillis’ (R-NC) that would quadruple the number of H-2B work visas issued each year to foreign workers.
The H-2B visa allows non-agricultural foreign workers to work in the U.S. on a temporary or seasonal basis. The current cap for H-2B visas is 66,000 per year. The bill would not raise the cap but would exclude any foreign worker who received an H-2B visa in the last three years. This would allow employers to hire new and returning H-2B workers, raising the number to around 264,000 workers per year.
The bill would also shift control of the program from the Department of Labor, which is responsible for protecting American and foreign workers from exploitation and abuse, to the Department of Homeland Security instead. Recently a report did an en exposure on the H-2B visa and how it replaces American workers and exploits foreign workers.
This week several senators including presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) wrote a letter opposing the bill saying it, “would effectively rollback many basic protections for U.S. and foreign workers.” They also discussed the negative impact the bill would have on American workers as they are replaced with cheaper foreign labor.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, (R-Ala.) also wrote a letter saying, “Now is not the time to advance legislation further depressing wages and employment of U.S. workers.”
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS) has published a report, The Integration of Immigrants into American Society, 50 years after the passage of the Hart-Cellar Act, which eventually resulted in an almost four-fold increase in immigration to the United States. The recent NAS report is similar to one it published in 1997 in that it trumpets the positives of immigration while ignoring the negative consequences of expansionist immigration policies. The report 18 years ago played up the fact that adding millions of immigrants “grows the economy” simply by increasing annual GDP, and it downplayed the enormous fiscal burdens and effect on American workers that result.
The new report deals with issues of assimilation, or as the NAS terms it, integration. Steven Camarota at the Center for Immigration Studies looked at the new report and has written up his initial thoughts. Camarota, who is one of the nation’s foremost experts on U.S. immigration policy, was disappointed in the lack of balance in the NAS “findings.”
As I see it, only Donald Trump has seen the menace of unfettered immigration. And our inept President has certainly made negative arrangements for pressing the Congress in passing amnesty for the 15 million plus. Obama and his minions have no consideration overall for American citizenry or honest immigrants who went through the procedures to stay here and work as he has gone ahead and laid out his own obnoxious plot Even if it was just for settlement, that in itself is lesser of the two evils. The money that must be allocated is a crushing blow to Democrats and Conservatives alike.
Have the Democrats taken into consideration the $$100 billion to $$200 billion taken in taxes to pay for the ever encroaching tide of people? In my thought process, I believe that their is a dark side to the Left or Right willing to spend other peoples money to either gain a large population of illegal aliens, who will vote–even though its a felony and the top personages in the GOP, who overlook the voting of non citizens, but will use the same as cheap labor for the job market.
One of the biggest ongoing problems is the pyramid of settlement, the sponsorship of legal immigrants sponsoring family members. This is a very costly situation, which blends in with Birthright Citizenship which is out of control. Having a baby wherever by an illegal parent or legal gives you the right to all the entitlements. This is why illegal parents have numerous children as every child is entitled to food stamps and cash payments. Study California’s payout to millions of illegal aliens in just Los Angeles County at a total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers exceeds $2.billion dollars a year, as according to Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich and siphons resources away from vital municipal services for legal immigrants and county residents.
This is why Donald Trump will build the wall, and strengthen interior enforcement with MANDATORY E-VERIFY and digital entry/exit visa’s at all points that includes airline and shipping. Remember that 40 percent of illegal aliens are from people overstaying their visa and vanishing from the eyes of ICE.
I sooooo hope Trump is the Grand Ol Party’ candidate in 2016!!!
Make it happen, haters! Vote, trump, FOXtards!!
