Donald Trump said the United States needs to take in Syrian refugees during an appearance the O’Reilly Factor on Tuesday night.



"I hate the concept of it, but on a humanitarian basis, you have to.”

Politico reports that Mr Trump then referenced President Barack Obama's red-line warning to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2013.

"This was started by President Obama when he didn't go in and do the job he should have when he drew the line in the sand, which turned out to be a very artificial line. But you know, it's living in hell in Syria. There's no question about it. They're living in hell and something has to be done.”

The Republican hopeful then suggested that Assad should have been removed from power.

“Probably, in retrospect, they should have gone in and done something with Assad. But you know, Assad is not our biggest problem because Assad and Isis are actually fighting," he said.

"So, now what we're doing is we're fighting Isis and Isis wants to fight Assad. Some people could say, 'Why don't you just let them fight out and you take out the remnants?'

During the appearance, the Republican front-runner also suggested that the Black Lives Matter movement is "looking for trouble," the Kentucky clerk jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses needs to do her job, and that he does not intend on funding Planned Parenthood if he becomes president.

I don't see why not, in fact, it is an excellent idea. Seeing as he's gone a put another politician out of the running such as Mr Obama, who is in fact Christian American and has never been Muslim, seems to echo a strong dislike towards the current American PM.
Maybe a degree in foreign national heritage may reduce these apparent misled claims into falsified ideological ideas.

Perhaps to the Christians, Kurds, Yazidis, and other persecuted minorities.

Don`t trust him, this is self servicing PR spin

OMG...the man said something kind of reasonable...

Is this the twilight zone?


Still not going to vote for him though.

It does seem astounding!

But we all know about stopped clocks.

Lol!

Obama said we got 250,000 people killed because we were trying to help them.

When we killed a million in Iraq the Christians fled to Syria.

I have heard Assad gave refuge to 600,000 Iraqi Christians.

Of the 8,000,000 displaced within Syria, We could take 100,000 Christians that ISIS would kill, and Assad would only protect and tolerate.

Just because our terrorists started this slaughter, we can still take legal immigrants from Syria.

Barry said 10,000, our usual quota is 25,000, 100,000 is 2,000 per State.

Removing Christian families from this situation is the right thing to do.

Trump is right again.

My thoughts exactly.

Well, a stopped clock is right twice a day, and the Donald is right about this.
By the way, what the hell is that choice of not voting for Trump because he's of German extraction, and not British? I'm largely of German descent, and I'm hardly going to cast a vote based on someone's last name.

Then he won't mind if they all go live at his house.

Accept them, and then send them back seems to be his plan.

Easier said than done. I'm sure there were people who wanted to send the Cuban exiles back once Castro was gone, but their grandchildren are Americans today.

"oh wow, he said something that isn't completely ret*d, let's all vote for him" /sarcasm

He's still an asshat that has no clue on how to run a country...

In the recent poll, some people would emigrate whereas some would vote for the Sugar card, which I think would be U.K citizens. That's cool, "Sugar to replace Corbyn everyone!"
reminder: (Everybody's favourite sugar daddy is back on next week).


Where the World is Getting Better

Much of the movement in the 2015 Index has been largely in sync with the headlines of the past year. As Cuba continues to dominate headlines in the United States — for all the right reasons — it has managed to be one of the three most improved countries of 2015, and also the most improved country of the past decade. Cuba is joined by Portugal and Georgia as the most improved countries, all having improved their scores by 3.4 points in the space of a year. Notably, Cuba was among the most improved countries in 2014, and Georgia was the most improved country previously in 2011, suggesting both countries are enjoying a rapid long-term trend of improvement.

Even more informative than the year-on-year trends are the trends identifiable over a decade. Not only was Cuba tied for the most improved country year-on-year in 2015, it is also the most improved country over the past decade. Though the country continues to experience problems in the provision of public services and issues such as Human Rights and State Legitimacy, it has nevertheless made great strides economically, driven by the reform agenda of Raul Castro. It is reasonable to assume that, with the thawing of the relationship between the United States and Cuba, this trend will continue to be positive over the coming years.





In light of the gap in funding for world peace growing ever wider, I have to re-iterate that the ever pending crisis in Europe and the far East is still not finished and we need a greater degree of funding to clear up the worst of the Ebola crisis. At the moment, an Ebola worker has been quarantined and countries are still starving.

Time to bring out a new single.. Little John?

To be honest, Republican or Democrat, Celebs/famous personalities with zero experience in politics seeking attention = not my cup of tea. How would you feel if suddenly a certain political party added a famous NBA player to its ranks? It's not a reality show! What happened to "Ask not what your country can do for you..." and you know the rest.

experience in politics means literally nothing, that is experience as a criminal or insane person.

I doubt there would be much difference between President El Chapo and President Hillary Clinton

I'd be more cool with a President Kobe than President Jeb Bush
