Angry at the constant jabs, Rick Perry challenges Donald Trump to a pullup contest.

Courtesy of CBS News:  

After enduring Donald Trump's barrage of insults for weeks, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry told the billionaire businessman to put up or shut up on Wednesday, challenging him to a pull-up contest. 

Trump, who's currently leading polls of the 2016 Republican primary, told the Daily Mail on Wednesday that Perry lacks the "energy," the "brain power," and the "toughness" to be an effective president. 

Perhaps it was that last charge that stung the most. Perry, a former Air Force captain who's worn his tough-guy image on his sleeve during a long career in politics, fired back during an appearance at the Yale Club. 

"Let's get a pull-up bar out there and let's see who can do the most pull-ups," Perry said, inciting a round of laughter and applause from the audience.

Okay for the record I would not want to contribute to either man's campaign, but having said that I would be willing to pay to see this. 

For one thing I am almost positive that Trump could not even begin to lift his bulk off of the ground, and if he did he would undoubtedly shit himself with the effort.

After all the man rode an escalator down to announce his intention of running for president.

Down, not up, down.

Okay I have to say that I am REALLY looking forward to his first debate next week.

Though sadly it appears that currently Rick Perry is not quite making the cut.

    Jeebus Gryphen, she's got another one and if you donate, you get a bumper sticker!
    (New SarahPAC e-mail today...)

    Dear

    Here is how this atrocity began: the early 20th century's "progressive movement" was caught up in a racist pseudo-science called eugenics. The core idea of eugenics was the use of birth control, abortion, and selective breeding to weed out the so-called "unfit" to create a "cleaner" human race. This horrifying idea actually inspired the Nazis in their evil determination to create a “master race,” a deranged obsession that led to the Holocaust.

    Show your support for life today by donating to receive a Pro-Life bumper sticker!

    One prominent leader of this racial cleansing eugenics movement was Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger. She boasted of her mission in abortion to reduce the numbers of minorities and immigrants in order to create a "cleaner,” i.e. whiter, race. She wanted to enable “the release and cultivation of the better racial elements” and “the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extirpation of defective stocks—those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.” She was a white supremacist in her beliefs.

    And she is heralded as a hero on the Left. Instead of rejecting Sanger and these hateful, racist ideals, Hillary Clinton expresses her admiration for her; President Obama asks God to “bless” Planned Parenthood. An op-ed in the New York Times calls for Sanger to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Planned Parenthood has done its best to deceive and pretend their foundation is not unsavory, but they stand upon it. Their work strives to meet their founder's goals.

    Support life, donate to receive an “All Life Matters” bumper sticker!

    Knowing Sanger’s racist beliefs, why is anyone surprised that Planned Parenthood placed 80% of its abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods? I posted a simple graphic on my Facebook page showing the Confederate flag on one side and the Planned Parenthood logo on the other, with the question: “Which symbol killed 90,000 black babies last year?”

    End Federal funding for Planned Parenthood and support life!

    Our nation commits to turning the page on a tragic chapter of racism by expressing ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬, so why are our tax dollars subsidizing an organization founded on racism?

    America, enough is enough! Planned Parenthood receives over half a billion of our tax dollars every year. Why should they have ever received one penny? They neither need nor deserve your hard earned money that was redistributed to this ghastly organization by condoning politicians holding the purse strings.

    With an Alaskan Heart,

      She's lying, as usual:

      False Attack on Planned Parenthood

      ...Cain isn’t the first to believe that birth control advocate Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) wanted to stop the birth of black babies. Just do an Internet search and see what happens. Sanger made more than her share of controversial comments. But the quote many point to as evidence that Sanger favored something akin to “genocide” of African Americans has been turned on its head.

      Sanger, who was arrested several times in her efforts to bring birth control to women in the United States, set up her first clinic in Brooklyn in 1916. In the late 1930s, she sought to bring clinics to black women in the South, in an effort that was called the “Negro Project.” Sanger wrote in 1939 letters to colleague Clarence James Gamble that she believed the project needed a black physician and black minister to gain the trust of the community:

      Sanger, 1939: The minister’s work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.

      Sanger says that a minister could debunk the notion, if it arose, that the clinics aimed to “exterminate the Negro population.” She didn’t say that she wanted to “exterminate” the black population. The Margaret Sanger Papers Project at New York University says that this quote has “gone viral on the Internet,” normally out of context, and it “doesn’t reflect the fact that Sanger recognized elements within the black community might mistakenly associate the Negro Project with racist sterilization campaigns in the Jim Crow south, unless clergy and other community leaders spread the word that the Project had a humanitarian aim.”

      Donald Trump Hires Former Palin Aide To Serve As His National Political Director

      On Thursday, Donald Trump announced that he was hiring Michael Glassner, a former Sarah Palin aide, to serve as his national political director. Trump issued a statement, saying:

      I am pleased to welcome Michael Glassner to our national campaign leadership team. Mr. Glassner will certainly be an asset to us as we further cement our dominance in the 2016 GOP field.

      The announcement came just two days after Trump suggested that, if elected, he would find a place for Sarah Palin in his cabinet.

      Glassner served as a political aide to Sarah Palin during the McCain-Palin 2008 presidential run. He also served as a campaign aide for Bob Dole’s unsuccessful 1996 White House bid. In addition, Glassner served as a senior adviser to George W. Bush in Iowa, during Bush’s victorious 2000 presidential campaign.

      While Glassner’s political experience may well prove to be an asset to Trump’s campaign, there is something almost poetic about Trump tapping a former Palin adviser to run his campaign. Trump’s “shoot from the hip” rhetorical style closely matches Palin’s, and both Republicans are prone to adopt extreme positions that rally the base, while alienating mainstream voters.

      It is not clear whether Glassner will try to embrace Trump’s bombastic style or whether he will try to reign in the eccentric billionaire. Trump’s decision to hire from the remnants of the Sarah Palin train wreck, suggests his intent, at least, is to push forward full throttle with the Palin-esque type of campaign he is already running.

      Entire post shows a lack of historical knowledge. Danger was about access to BC, not abortíon. It was at the time of the Comstock laws. Even info about BC was illegal. It was also at a time when there was no safety net, medicine wasn't advanced, more kids in large families meant all would be malnourished to the point of mental deficiençy. No such thing as marital rape recognized. A woman couldn't keep her legs closed. Sanger was a saint. Palin is a despicable, lying witch.

    BREAKING NEWS

    Simil Valley, CA

    Seismic sensors placed inside the grave of President Ronald Reagan are picking up movement of some kind from inside the coffin. Onsite security are closely monitoring the situation which started after a visitor to the Reagan Library was heard speaking to the grave marker reciting the names of those running for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2016. This is not the first time movement inside the Reagan resting place has been sensed. It occurred for six weeks starting in August 2008 when Senator John McCain regretfully had to choose Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his VP running mate.

    To recap, President Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave tonight.

Too bad there is not one honest person attached to that fiasco, who is willing to come forward and tell the truth about $carah.

    Was this book ever discussed?
    Drat, can't find the title. There's a chapter about Todd's family where his cousin talks about their love for Sarah. She describes how Todd beamed when he told his grandmother and family about the McCain decision, making it sound like he is a grandma's boy. There's also a picture of Todd, his 3 oldest kids and his grandmother. Looks to be around 1998?

    I never knew a member of that family gave an interview in 2008. Actually, I didn't know they did at all. I recall people talking about the yupik side, which led me to a book on Inuits. Lena is profiled. She was an orphan at one time. Sounds very interesting. One distant relative delivered mail between villages via dogsled .

    With all the media hate and manipulation, it's a shame good stories are lost.
