Donald J. Trump Details Ethics Reform Plan For Washington D.C. Oct. 17, 2016
**REMARKS AS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY**
Thank you.
In 22 days, we are going to win the state of Wisconsin and we are going to win the White House.
Early voting is underway, so make sure to send in your absentee ballots.
Together, we are going to deliver real change that puts America First.
We are going to renegotiate our terrible trade deals, end illegal immigration, stop the massive inflow of refugees, reduce surging crime, cut taxes and regulations, lift the restrictions on American energy, end common core, and repeal and replace the disaster known as Obamacare.
Your jobs will come back under a Trump Administration. Your incomes will go up under a Trump Administration. Your taxes will go way down under a Trump Administration. Your companies won’t be leaving Wisconsin under a Trump Administration.
We are also going to end government corruption.
Hillary Clinton is the most corrupt person ever to run for President.
Newly-released FBI documents made public today reveal just how deep the corruption goes. The under-Secretary of State, Patrick Kennedy, pressured the FBI to un-classify emails from Hillary’s illegal server. In other words, the State Department was trying to cover-up Hillary’s crime of sending classified information on a server our enemies could easily access by trying to reverse the classification.
This is a criminal act – a conspiracy that included Hillary’s deleting and bleaching of 33,000 emails, the disappearance of 13 phones, 2 boxes of email evidence gone missing, and the destruction of laptops in a secret deal with the FBI.
Remember, also, that Hillary lied under oath to Congress saying she had never sent or received classified information on her insecure sever, and pretended not to know that the letter “C” meant confidential information that was classified. Hillary then told the FBI she couldn’t remember 39 times, and then, in written testimony last week under oath, said she couldn’t remember another 21 times.
We are witnessing a criminal enterprise that has turned our government into a vehicle for the Clinton’s personal profit at your expense.
But it gets even worse.
The FBI documents show that Under-Secretary of State Patrick Kennedy made the request for altering classification as part of a “quid pro quo.” This is felony corruption. Under-Secretary Kennedy needs to resign.
Clinton cronies have sacrificed your security, your family’s safety, and your country’s safety as though it meant nothing at all.
This is magnitudes worse than Watergate. And we’re going to put an end to it on November 8th.
But there’s still more. Another series of emails shows top officials in the Clinton campaign scheming to take massive sums of money from foreign lobbyists. One of the emails from a top Hillary official said, quote, “take the money!!” with two exclamation points. This is money bundled by people registered as lobbyists on behalf of foreign governments.
Remember, we are competing in a rigged election – the media is trying to rig the election by giving credence to false stories that have no validity and making it front page news, only to poison the minds of the American voters. The media is an extension of the Clinton Campaign, as WikiLeaks proved – Hillary even got the questions and answers in advance of a major debate.
A new report from the Center for Public Integrity shows that 96% of so-called journalists and reporters who donated this cycle gave their money to Hillary Clinton. They even want to try and rig the election at the polling booths, where so many cities are corrupt and voter fraud is all too common.
The following comes straight from Pew Research.
QUOTE: “Approximately 24 million—one of every eight—voter registrations in the United States are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate.”
QUOTE: “More than 1.8 million deceased individuals are listed as voters.”
QUOTE: “Approximately 2.75 million people have registrations in more than one state.”
Then there is the issue of illegal immigrants voting. The following comes from a 2014 report from the Washington Post. The article was entitled: "could non-citizens decide the November election?" Here are some excerpts.
QUOTE: “More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote.”
QUOTE: “Because non-citizens tended to favor Democrats (Obama won more than 80 percent of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 sample), we find that this participation was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in a few close elections. Non-citizen votes could have given Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health-care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress. It is also possible that non-citizen votes were responsible for Obama’s 2008 victory in North Carolina. Obama won the state by 14,177 votes, so a turnout by 5.1 percent of North Carolina’s adult non-citizens would have provided this victory margin.”
Our system is also rigged by the donors, giving hundreds of millions to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The reason Hillary Clinton pushes for NAFTA, or the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and for completely open borders, is because her international donors control her every move.
If we let the Clinton Cartel run this government, history will record that 2017 was the year America lost its independence.
We will not let that happen.
It is time to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C.
That is why I am proposing a package of ethics reforms to make our government honest once again.
When Bill Clinton came into office, he signed an executive order saying if you work for the White House or a federal agency, you can’t lobby the government for 5 years after you leave. But then, President Clinton did what the Clintons always do – he rigged the system on his way out. Clinton lifted the executive order so the Clintons and their cronies like John Podesta could start raking in cash.
So, here is what I am announcing tonight. First: I am going to re-institute a 5-year ban on all executive branch officials lobbying the government for 5 years after they leave government service. I am going to ask Congress to pass this ban into law so that it cannot be lifted by executive order.
Second: I am going to ask Congress to institute its own 5-year ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and their staffs.
Third: I am going to expand the definition of lobbyist so we close all the loopholes that former government officials use by labeling themselves consultants and advisors when we all know they are lobbyists.
Fourth: I am going to issue a lifetime ban against senior executive branch officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.
And Fifth: I am going to ask Congress to pass a campaign finance reform that prevents registered foreign lobbyists from raising money in American elections.
Not only will we end our government corruption, but we will end the economic stagnation.
My plan for the economy can be summed up in three simple words: jobs, jobs, jobs.
At the center of my plan will be fixing our terrible trade deals.
47 million Americans are in poverty and 45 million Americans are on Food Stamps.
We have nearly an $800 billion annual trade deficit in goods with the world, and the worst so-called recovery since the Great Depression.
It’s the Clintons who gave us NAFTA, and the Clintons who gave us China’s entry into the World Trade Organization.
Briggs & Stratton has cut thousands of Wisconsin manufacturing jobs and moved them to China.
GE Healthcare recently closed its Milwaukee location and shipped the jobs to Mexico.
Johnson Controls shuttered its plants in Milwaukee and West Allis and moved the jobs to Mexico and China.
The list goes on and on.
We are living through the greatest jobs theft in the history of the world.
A Trump Administration is going to renegotiate NAFTA, stand up to China, and stop the jobs from leaving our country.
As part of our plan to bring back our jobs, we are going to lower our business tax from 35 percent to 15 percent.
We will be a rich nation once again.
But to be a rich country, we must also be a safe country.
National Security begins at the border.
Speaking in secret to a foreign bank Hillary Clinton said her dream is for totally “open trade and open borders.”
By “open trade,” she means foreign countries can cheat us out of millions of jobs and trillions of dollars.
By “open borders,” she means totally unlimited immigration.
In a secret speech to Goldman Sachs, she said citizens who want to control immigration are “Un-American.”
So Hillary thinks most of the country is either deplorable, irredeemable, un-American, racist, or basement dwellers supporting Bernie Sanders.
Hillary’s plan includes an open border with the Middle East – meaning generations of radicalism and terrorism spreading and growing within our shores.
So let me state this as clearly as I can. If I’m elected President I am going to keep Radical Islamic Terrorists out of our country.
We will also stop the crisis of illegal immigration.
A Trump Administration will secure and defend our borders. And yes, we will build a wall.
We have the first-ever endorsement from our ICE and Border Patrol officers.
As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton allowed thousands of criminal aliens to be released because their home countries wouldn’t take them back.
The ICE officers described Hillary’s proposal as, quote, the most radical immigration proposal in U.S. history.” Here is a summary of the Hillary plan:
--Support for Sanctuary Cities
--Social Security, Medicare and lifetime welfare for illegal immigrants by making them all citizens
--Obamacare for illegal immigrants
--No deportation of visa overstays
--Expanding catch-and-release on the border
--Expanding President Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty, including instant work permits for millions of illegal workers
--Freeing even more criminal aliens by expanding Obama’s non-enforcement directives
--A 550% increase in Syrian refugees
Either we win this election, or we lose the country.
Under a Trump Administration, it’s going to be America First.
Here are some of the amazing things we are going to do for our country starting in 2017:
We are going to have the biggest tax cut since Ronald Reagan; eliminate every unnecessary regulation; defend religious liberty; provide school choice to every low-income child in America; rebuild our depleted military and take care of our vets; support the men and women of law enforcement; repeal and replace Obamacare; save the 2nd amendment; and appoint Justices to the Supreme Court who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
You have 22 days to make every dream you ever dreamed of for your country come true.
On November 8th, the arrogance of Washington D.C. will come face to face with the righteous verdict of the American voter.
I am going to fight for every citizen, of every background, from every stretch of this nation.
I’m going to fight for every child living in poverty. I’m going to fight for every mom who lost her child to illegal immigration, and drugs and gang violence.
I’m going to fight for every community whose jobs and dreams have been ripped out and shipped to other countries.
I’m going to fight for every person in this country who believes government should serve the people – not the donors.
And I am going to fight to bring us all together as Americans.
Imagine what our country could accomplish if we started working together as One People, under One God, saluting One American Flag.
You’re going to look back at this rally for the rest of your life. You’re going to remember this day. This is a movement like you’ve never seen before. You’re going to look back at this election, and say this is by far the most important vote you’ve ever cast for anyone at any time.
Once again, we are going to have a government of, by and for the people.
RE: the whole sexual assault accusations, I have to admit struggling with this. I want to let an accuser of such a thing come forward and make their case. Where I really struggle, is that as I understand this, Trump is being accused of being a serial assaulter, and yet not a single victim ever tried to tell their story until just a couple of weeks ago. That's really beating the odds, especially for a habitual assaulter. It simply doesn't add up.
Even if it did make sense, and I was fairly convinced that he had assaulted many women, and gotten away with it because of his position of power, how does that really differ from Hillary, who has made it a habit to victimize Bill's victims a second time? This has been well documented with the Clintons. So is Trump supposed to be any worse? I really don't see it. I'm sure that most voters who aren't bat-shit-crazy progressives are likely to come to the same conclusion. Many, I'm sure won't want to publicly say that they favor someone who is currently being accused of numerous sexual assaults, but at the end of the day, will cast their vote privately, for other reasons.
I'm still not going to make any predictions in this "election". There is so much corruption in the process, anything could happen. I sure don't believe the polls. The crowd draws at each candidates rallies seems telling, especially considering that Hillary is hard to see because she is giving so few rally speeches. Perhaps the thought is that if you don't have events, they cant report the poor turnout?
I read it somewhere that Hillary's whole approach at this point is not to screw up. If you don't give speeches there is less chance you say or do something stupid.
The only near-valid point is that Donald saying "it's rigged" can discourage participation. He needs to tag the statement with "so let's show up in such record numbers to vote that there's no WAY they can fake their way through it".
What They Are Saying About Donald Trump’s Victory In The Final Debate Oct. 20, 2016
"This election is about the direction and future of America. Voters have a real choice between a distinct set of ideas and leadership values offered by both candidates. But it's Donald Trump who's got the right message and a pro-growth agenda that resonates with workers and families struggling under Obama's economy. Trump is also the national security candidate who's committed to strengthening America's military and defending America's global interests without reservation. On these issues, which are among the most important to the American people, Trump is the only choice for a stronger and more prosperous nation." - Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA)
“Once again, Donald Trump won the debate. He showed that we have a clear choice between Hillary Clinton’s four more years of the same failed policies of President Obama, or Mr. Trump’s vision to bring positive change to the American people through a renewed economy, pro-growth tax policies, repealing and replacing Obamacare, defeating ISIS, and regaining respect for the United States on the world stage.” –Rep. Billy Long (R-MO)
“Last night Americans were reminded why we cannot afford another four years of the Clinton-Obama record of abysmal economic growth and declining respect globally. Donald Trump showed he understands the complexities of Syria and proved that Hillary failed during her tenure at the State Department -- our world is less safe because of her decisions. Mr. Trump the only candidate with innovative plans to stimulate our nation’s economy by bringing back jobs to our shores. He’s the only candidate that will put America first and recapture its standing around the world and make America a safer place to raise a family.” -Rep. Tom Marino (R-PA)
"Donald Trump proved once again that he is the true voice of the change America needs. He is focused on charting a new course of economic prosperity, job growth, and national security while Hillary Clinton is determined to double down on the same policies that are failing the American people. Trump is committed to appointing individuals to the Supreme Court who will uphold the Constitution. The nation is yearning for a brighter future, and Donald Trump’s commitment to putting the American people first shows why he should be elected our next president.” – Rep. Tom Price (R-GA)
"Our nation needs someone who will fight for jobs for our communities because that is what we need and that is what is fair. That person is clearly Donald Trump. A Hillary Clinton presidency is unacceptable. She is striving to create a liberal Supreme Court to carry on her agenda for years and arrogantly believes she can say one thing publicly, then privately carry out and entirely different agenda. She has demonstrated recklessness regarding classified information and risked American lives simply for her personal convenience. We need someone who cares about our families. That is Donald Trump, not Hillary Clinton." - Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY)
“For the Supreme Court, for the security of our borders and for tax relief for millions of American families, farmers and small business owners, Donald Trump once again showed why he is the best choice to be the next President of the United States of America. After three debates, it’s now clear that Donald Trump is the only candidate who can lead our country in a positive direction and put an end to the failures of the Clinton-Obama policies. On the key issues Donald Trump’s proposals win on the merits and provide the path forward that America has been lacking for the past eight years.” –Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO)
"Last night's debate set the tone for the remaining 20 days of the 2016 election. We watched in concert with the rest of the world as Donald Trump laid out a vision of prosperity and security for our nation and her people. In stark contrast, we saw carefully orchestrated talking points that Secretary Clinton used to outline a plan for the continuation of the failed policies of the current administration. These failed policies have increased the size of the federal government and decreased living standards for everyday Americans. What remains to be seen is if the media will continue their biased and relentless assault of Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump’s performance reflected the sentiments of many Americans and it is my sincere hope that the media focuses on the difference of policy positions rather than the personalities." - Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL)
“The Mission Of The American Desk Will Be To Protect The Economic Interests Of The American Worker, And The National Interests Of The United States. It’s Going To Be America First.” – Donald J. Trump
“I’ll be checking with those people,” Mr. Trump said. "Because we’re not going to lose our companies anymore." “Mr. Trump on Thursday told an Ohio audience he would combine trade-policy functions of the office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Commerce Department and other agencies. …one function of the desk is likely to be preventing American manufacturing from moving abroad. ‘I’ll be checking with those people,’ Mr. Trump said. ‘Because we’re not going to lose our companies anymore.’” (WSJ, 10/20/16) http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/10/20/trump-see ks-american-desk-for-trade-while-clinton-favors-pr osecutor/
Eight More Days Remain In Current MSM Narrative Cycle By Sundance, Oct. 20, 2016
The real battle, is the battle for your mind…
The peak U.S. media false polling cycle is thankfully in the rear-view mirror. Over the next eight days corporate media entities will begin scaling back the promoted pro-Clinton polling advantages they have falsely inserted into the presidential election narrative. By Friday October 28th, their manipulative cycle will have concluded.
Ask yourself: If Hillary Clinton was actually winning by the margins presented, then why is President Obama in Miami Florida, M.I.A.M.I, campaigning on her behalf?
You already know the answer. Everything the media has been putting forth for the past two weeks is simply a ruse. A well designed and well orchestrated ruse; indeed a corporate ruse, but a ruse nonetheless.
Trump and Clinton Appear Together at Tonight’s Al Smith Dinner By Sundance, Oct. 20, 2016
The Alfred E. Smith charity dinner at New York’s famous Waldorf Astoria is an election year tradition for decades. The dinner typically provides a welcome break from the heated tone of the campaign trail with candidates delivering humorous speeches that poke fun at their opponents and themselves.
A comment lifted from the 'net re: last night's Al Smith dinner, spot-on IMO:
quote:
I went into the dinner expecting a good laugh like I got in 2012.
Trump started off well and had some great lines. About halfway through his speech he unleashed withering attacks against Clinton. Absolutely brutal attacks. The audience began to boo and jeer and at one point I thought I heard an f-bomb directed at him from the audience. They were angry.
It was really awkward because it was so unexpected.
Hillary came on and her speech was about as funny as a box of razor blades. She did just about the same thing as Trump, with the primary difference being that her attack lines were veiled in attempted (unfunny) jokes.
After I had some time to think about what happened, I realized that we witnessed something astounding – classic Trump. He absolutely destroyed Clinton. People on twitter are calling it the “Red Dinner” – in reference to Game of Thrones where a rival house unexpectedly massacres another at their wedding celebration. The explanation is simple.
Trump’s ability to reach a “traditional” audience through “traditional” media is limited. The media this cycle is completely unhinged biased against Trump. The narrative is so hostile to him that it’s nearly impossible for him to get his message out, raw and unfiltered truthful message, without passing through the media “fact check” filter.
Tonight, Trump had a microphone and dozens of cameras fixed upon him, with millions watching – hanging on every word.
He baited his audience with the laughter they expected, and broadsided them with devastating truth that they did not expect. And the attacks kept coming, and coming, and coming. He did not relent. It was full-throttle until the last few remarks. Nearly every Clinton scandal or flaw or disqualification was touched upon, unfiltered, to a national audience. They weren’t softened with jokes. There were no applause lines. Only the truth about Clinton, and perfect, awkward silence.
And the audience listened as the room full of elites booed and hissed and cursed at him – in effect showing their displeasure at him speaking of Clinton improprieties so carefully hidden by the media. Indeed, this cabal of elites was seen coming to her defense.
Both took it a step in the wrong direction. It is traditionally a dinner where the presidential candidates rip _themselves_ and not a place for outright attacks.
There were some funny bits on both sides, but both candidates took the opportunity to completely trash the other person. Not what that dinner is supposed to be about and it was embarrassing to say the least.
Clinton's rip on Giuliani was also bad, and you could tell he was not in the least bit amused.
Based on what I'm reading online: Twitter, Reddit, and other significant aspects of the internet appear to be under some form of major DDOS today, appears to be nationwide.
West Coast now under web attack as East Coast recovers By Ethan Baron | ebaron@bayareanewsgroup.com PUBLISHED: October 21, 2016 at 10:23 am | UPDATED: October 21, 2016 at 12:45 pm
The West Coast is now under web attack. A host of websites are unavailable, including Twitter, in what appears to be a second assault Friday against a firm that connects internet users to websites.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is reportedly investigating. The attack raised fears that this could be a trial run for an attempt at a major disruption of the U.S. presidential election.
“Say, not to panic anybody, but what if the (attacks) today were practice for 11/8 ?” high-profile pundit Keith Olbermann tweeted.
While many of the websites affected by the first attack, which hit the East Coast, are back up, sites hosted on the West Coast, including Twitter and Recode, have been hit, and were unavailable for many as of 11 a.m. Friday.

A massive co-ordinated series of cyber attacks has forced hundreds of major websites from Amazon to Twitter offline.
Internet service company Dyn, which controls the 'address book' of the internet for dozens of major companies, said that it had suffered its first denial of service (DDoS) attack shortly after 6AM ET (11AM BST), in an attack that mostly affected the east coast of the US.
It confirmed a second attack was underway at 1PM ET, which appeared to be centred on UK servers, and later said 'several' attacks were underway attacks servers across the globe.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible and Gillian Christensen of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said the agency was 'investigating all potential causes.'
Internet users across the globe were hit throughout the day as 'several' massive cyber attacks hit a DNS service provider. This image shows problems reported with Level 3, a business service provider.
Dinesh D’Souza Discusses Morality, Intentions and Consequences for the Presidential Election By Sundance, Oct. 21, 2016
On October 14th, Dinesh D’Souza spoke to the largest regular convocation of young people in the country at Liberty University.
During a portion of his speech he reminded the Christian audience what is at stake in the 2016 election. His comments were specifically targeted toward those who are claiming a moral high ground and considering sitting out the election
When you contemplate what D’Souza has gone through - as a target of a weaponized government, incarceration, forced re-education counseling, and the loss of his ability to vote in any election - his words carry a more resounding tenor:
(lol)
