(Video) Ahead of a key hearing this week in his case of alleged desertion, former Taliban prisoner Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl´s defense team told a military tribunal that he has been “in physical danger” for a year from fellow soldiers who are angry over claims he betrayed his country. Bergdahl´s civilian defense lawyer Eugene Fidell said former military and intelligence officers appearing in conservative news media had vilified Bergdahl and stoked hatred over social media such as Facebook over Bergdahl’s perceived misconduct while in captivity. Fidell provided examples from the “Bergdahl is a Traitor” page.

Look, a defense lawyer trying to earn sympathy for his low life client who´s actions caused the deaths of his fellow soldiers. His client´s fellow soldiers are just so unfair.
It kinda reminds me of Hillary defending her pedophile rapist client by destroying the reputation of his 12 year old victim.

The only solution would be to fly him back over the desert, give him a parachute, and let him join his comrades. He already knows the language. Then go on social media and say he is a spy.

I hope his guilty verdict isn´t announced until after the next Pres. takes office.
The Muslim in the White House would likely pardon him otherwise.

Speaking at North High School in Des Moines, Iowa, yesterday President Barack Obama said he did not think colleges should block guest speakers who are “too conservative.” Obama made the observation during a question-and-answer session with students and their parents. Before answering the question, the president said: “When I went to college, suddenly there were some folks who didn’t think at all like me. And if I had an opinion about something, they’d look at me and say, well, that’s stupid.” Here is an excerpt from the president’s presentation: When I went to college, suddenly there were some folks who

It´s been one week since The View returned with a (mostly) new panel of co-hosts and the ABC show is already stirring up controversy. On Monday, the ladies at the round table, including Michelle Collins, Joy Behar, Raven-Symoné and Paula Faris, were discussing the recent Miss America pageant, during which, for the talent portion, Miss Colorado Kelley Johnson performed a monologue and discussed her profession as a nurse. Well, the co-hosts were not having it. “The talent, though, I have to say, the woman who won sang opera, and she was incredible. Really good,” Collins said. “But then there was

CNN did a poll on the Iran deal from September 4 to 8. On Sunday morning, CNN pollster Jennifer Agiesta (formerly of The Washington Post) reported the results – another poll showing deep skepticism about Iran, and the prospect that Iran will cheat on any nuclear deal. Obama has a bad disapproval rating on Iran. You´d never know this from all the “major victory for Obama” talk on this deal. Will any of this come up from the CNN moderators in Wednesday night’s debate? Or will they ignore it? Agiesta summed it up: A new CNN/ORC poll finds 59% disapprove

Vice President Joe Biden attacked leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump over his strong stance against illegal immigration in remarks made Tuesday evening to a crowd gathered at the Vice Presidential mansion in Washington, D.C. for Hispanic Heritage Month. A pool report picked up by news outlets relayed Biden’ caustic remarks. Bloomberg News: ““I walked out of the house just as Trump was talking on the television,” Biden said. “Folks, this will not prevail.

As he prepares to take the stage Wednesday for the second televised Republican presidential debate, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is making it clear he wants to use the airtime to go after Donald Trump again. “I think he deserves both barrels,” Paul said in a Tuesday afternoon interview with The Daily Caller. “I want to make sure everyone in the whole country knows he’s a fake conservative.” Paul went on offense against Trump harder than any other Republican in last month’s Fox News debate. But despite the attacks, Trump’s numbers have only gotten stronger while Paul’s have faded. Previewing his

MIDDLETOWN, Calif.- The toll of property losses from a deadly Northern California wildfire, the most destructive this year in the western United States, climbed on Tuesday to at least 585 homes and hundreds of other structures that have gone up in flames. The latest tally, up from Monday´s estimate of 400 homes razed, came as firefighters gained some ground against the blaze, which erupted on Saturday and raced through several communities in the hills north of Napa County´s wine-producing region. A group of evacuees whose homes were lost in the inferno were due to be escorted back to their neighborhoods

I mentioned this in the Morning Spectacle, but I feel like it deserves more attention. Bernie Sanders does nothing but promise free stuff to people. That´s his whole gig. Free school, free healthcare, free day care. Basically free everything. It´s a free paradise! He´ll happily tax the rich to the hilt in order to make certain that no one with a five-figure income will ever have to shell out a single dollar for anything ever again. They may have to wait in line like good members of the proletariat, but that should be of no concern for such a dedicated

Two radically different politicians appealing to radically different segments of the population, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders nonetheless are tugging at a common thread: a restless populism born of the public’s belief that feckless, incompetent leadership has rigged politics, government, and other social institutions against them. Doug Sosnik, political director in the Clinton White House who co-authored a book about American leadership with me and former Bush adviser Matthew Dowd in 2006, wrote a memo to his fellow Democrat two years ago that warned of a populist movement. After a decade of wars, economic tumult, and technological revolution, he wrote,

In a country with more than 300 million people, it is remarkable how obsessed the media have become with just one — Donald Trump. What is even more remarkable is that, after six years of repeated disasters, both domestically and internationally, under a glib egomaniac in the White House, so many potential voters are turning to another glib egomaniac to be his successor. No doubt much of the stampede of Republican voters toward Trump is based on their disgust with the Republican establishment. The fact that the next two biggest vote getters in the polls are also complete outsiders — Ben Carson

If frontrunner Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination, one of the biggest names in the Republican Establishment, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, says he “doubts” he would support the Democrat in a general election but would “support getting someone good on the ballot as a third party candidate.” “I doubt I’d support Donald. I doubt I’d support the Democrat,” Kristol told CNNMoney via email. “I think I’d support getting someone good on the ballot as a third party candidate.” The old GOP Establishment hotness was demanding Trump pledge in writing to support the Republican nominee, even if it isn’t Trump.

Photographs of emaciated polar bears have gone viral on social media, and raised concerns over the effects of global warming. One, taken by National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen, shows a dead polar bear lying on a pile of rocks in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. Mr Nicklen is trained as a biologist and has worked in the Arctic for decades. He says that on a trip to Svalbard last summer he was unable to locate any live bears, but did find two that appeared to have starved to death. “These bears were so skinny, they appeared to have died of

A majority of Republican registered voters want either Donald Trump or Ben Carson to be their party´s 2016 presidential nominee, according to two new national polls from the Washington Post-ABC News and the New York Times-CBS News. Let that sink in for a minute. Neither Trump, who made his name as a real estate mogul and reality star, nor Carson, a renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, have run for any office prior to their presidential candidacies. Both men have staked the entirety of their campaigns on the idea that they are the furthest thing possible from a traditional politician. And it is working
