PHOENIX, ARIZ. — Security guards removed a man staring menacingly at the press from a Donald Trump campaign rally on Saturday. A television reporter notified a security guard that the rally attendee was holding an object in his hand and described him as a “very dangerous man” after noticing the man facing away from Trump and staring at length directly at members of the press. Minutes later, security guards removed the man from the Phoenix Convention Center. The incident comes as Trump’s attacks on the press have grown more extreme in recent weeks, with the Republican nominee accusing journalists and bankers of colluding with Hillary Clinton’s campaign to destroy him as part of a vast globalist conspiracy. Earlier this month, in response to that rhetoric, Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the Anti-Defamation League, warned, "Whether intentionally or not, Donald Trump is evoking classic anti-Semitic themes that have historically been used against Jews and still reverberate today." It was not the only press-related incident at Saturday's rally. Minutes before the man was removed, two other men began shouting at the press pen. One of them, wearing a hat with a mushroom cloud and the words “bombislam.com” as well as a shirt with former President Bill Clinton’s face and the word “rape” began shouting, “Bill Clinton’s a rapist.” His companion, wearing a “Hillary for Prison” shirt, shouted at the press, “You are rapists” and “you need to pay for Bill Clinton’s rape,” adding, “You are responsible.” That same man, when the crowd broke into a chant of “U-S-A” stood at the metal barrier separating the press from the crowd and shouted at members of the press, “Jew-S-A.” http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/man-staring-down-press-removed-from-trump-rally-230498

At 1795, 2 units on the Jets.

If you really are a law enforcement officer and believe in the Constitiution and our laws then you should know that someone is innocent until proven guilty. Or is that only when you find it convienent? After all the years of investigations, no criminal charges have even been brought against Hillary, including the latest email issue. I find it very troubling that a law enforcement officer would let their bias against someone compel them to make a judgement without facts or prosecution and call them a criminal. And some people wonder why so many people are protesting against bias in our justice system.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Actually pizza. Up to 1795.

I wonder if Trump will mention this: An Iowa woman arrested on charges she voted twice for Donald Trump attempted to explain her behavior by stating that “the polls are rigged,” according to Iowa Public Radio. Cops booked 55-year-old Terri Rote into the Polk County Jail on Thursday, charging her with felony election misconduct. A Des Moines police report alleges the registered Republican cast two separate early voting ballots this week. Two other suspects are accused of casting mail-in ballots and also voting in person. https://twitter.com/deadspin/status/792377361455017984

At 1675, I squeamishly put 100 on Buffalo.

This one has Fla -125 Buf +101. http://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/odds

BREAKING: US official: Newly discovered emails related to Clinton investigation did not come from her private server. NBC’s Pete Williams: Sr. officials say—During separate investigation “a device” led to add'l emails–not from Clinton. Details of FBI: They found 3 emails that "might" be relevant to the case. None of them were withheld by Clinton. Meanwhile Trump said this is bigger than Watergate.

Seems a bit inappropriate for a government agency to put out a general statement without any conclusions. Comey said that he was not sure how long the additional review would take and said the FBI "cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant." But it is significant in it's potential effect, why not wait until there are conclusions before muddying the waters so close to the election.

I wish people would quit smoking so we wouldn't have to keep seeing those commercials during the games, the latest is the woman who gets injections in her eyes.

Actually it just skidded off the runway onto the grass, nobody hurt. Rumor is that Pence grabbed the wheel and then pretended to bump his head. He's now claiming he has no memory of accepting the VP nomination.

A hollow victory, up to 1675.

At 1475. Was going to bet on Flyers, but didn't remember until the game started. 2 units on the Wild. At least if I bet on the opponent and the Sabres win it's better than the other way around.

Is it Thyme for a coaching change? Anise to see more games. The penalty kill is still Saffron, but the power play finally Peppered them.

The polls are rigged, believe me. The lyin' media are trying to make it seem closer so they keep their ratings up. I'm just sayin'. Make Polls Great Again.

What she's doing is tieing the Republican congressional candidates to Trump. The calculation is that if they say they support Trump that upsets non-Trump Repubs, and if they say they don't support Trump it upsets Trump supporters; either way upsetting some Repubs and causing the Repub to lose votes.

You usually don't take your starting QB out of the game when losing with 2 minutes left. Unless the thought is if he's on the sideline he won't have another fumble.

Today Pence is in Utah and Trump is at his hotel in DC. It shows where their concerns are.

Won, up to 1475.

I follow the news, just not Breitbart news. It's already been a port, Syria has been a surrogate for decades, and any ships they move weakens their northern fleet. The US and NATO allies still maintains a numerical naval superiority in the region. If you think it's a big deal, what would you like to do to stop it? Set up a blockade? Bomb the port?

Since she said it was consensual and didn't say she was influenced by his position, which she could have said, you're stretching to justify your incorrect labelling.

Trump speaking, says on day one he's going to remove environmental regulations and let the energy companies have free reign, and transfer funds away from climate change programs. Wants to lower corporate tax rate from 35% to 15%. Vows to sue the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct.

Of course the MAJOR naval base has been used by the Soviets / Russia since 1971 and consists of two piers and a workshop.

Immigrants illegally in the U.S. collectively contribute nearly $12 billion each year to state and local tax coffers, according to a new report that challenges recent election cycle rhetoric. The study from the Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy found that immigrants in the U.S. without legal permission kick in their billions in the form of income, property, sales or excise taxes. There were roughly 11 million immigrants estimated to be in the U.S. illegally as of 2013, according to the report. And each and every state collects at least a few million dollars from tax payments made by such immigrants each year, ranging from Montana's $2.2 million to California's $3.2 billion. The Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy's study found that individuals lacking legal permission to be in the U.S. consistently receive lower wages than their immigrant counterparts who are in the country legally, which inherently limits how much they pay in terms of income taxes. The report estimates the average income of an "undocumented family" is a little more than $30,000, well below the country's median household income of around $54,000, according to the Census Bureau. However, when looking at the share of total income paid in taxes, the institute's report estimates the average tax rate for immigrants in the country illegally is higher than the rate paid by America's top earners. "Undocumented immigrants' nationwide average effective tax rate is an estimated 8 percent," the report said. "To put this in perspective, the top 1 percent of taxpayers pay an average nationwide effective tax rate of just 5.4 percent." http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-03-01/study-undocumented-immigrants-pay-billions-in-taxes
