Major uptick in Russian nuclear brinksmanship should top-off today’s news and the candidates should immediately address it in their 2016 presidential campaigns --- NOT Trump’s more-than-ten-year-old lewd remarks on tape from a ‘hot mike” -- OR -- even the Assange document drop about Hillary-related material on many fronts
According to a report in “The Guardian” --- “Reports of Iskander-M missiles being moved to outpost between Poland and Lithuania fuels fears that Russia is seeking to expand control of Baltic Sea"
That report goes on to say that “…. Estonian officials have said that Russia appears to be moving powerful, nuclear capable missiles into Kaliningrad, a Russian outpost province sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania along the Baltic coast…. The Iskander-M missiles, which have a range of over 500km, are reportedly being transported by ship from the St Petersburg area. It had previously been reported that the Russians might seek to place the Iskander-M missiles in Kaliningrad but not until 2018-19…. If confirmed, the move would be seen by western governments as another sign that Russia is seeking to establish facts on the ground, from eastern Europe to the Middle East, before a new US president takes office in January…. Estonian officials said they were monitoring the ship and its contents. The ship, called the Ambal, was due to dock on Friday; reports of the cargo came from Estonian government sources…. An Estonian defence expert said: ‘This weapon is highly sophisticated and there is no comparable weapon in western armoury. It can carry nuclear weapons, change direction mid-flight and fly distances of up to 500km. As such it is capable of threatening Poland, including the US missile defence installations there. You would not change the date of the delivery of a system such as this on a whim. The intention is to make a strong strategic point.’…” (See “Russia moving nuclear-capable missiles into Kaliningrad, says Estonia” by Patrick Wintour, 10/7/16, The Guardian [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/07/russia-moving-nuclear-capable-missiles-into-kaliningrad-says-estonia?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Add_to_Buffer]).
How is it that this story didn't make the cut for anybody in the US MSM on Friday ???

"DEPLOYMENT OF MISSILE SYSTEM TO KALININGRAD SEEN AS SHOW OF STRENGTH" --- WSJ
MY APOLOGIES TO THE “WALL STREET JOURNAL” --- THEY WERE WELL ONTO THIS KALININGRAD MISSILE STORY WITH AN EXCELLENT, IN DEPTH, PRESENTATION, INCLUDING SEVERAL NATO & MILITARY RESPONSES, --- BUT --- THE WSJ ARTICLE WAS NOT LOCATED ON MY “MSN” SEARCH ENGINE UNTIL WELL INTO THIS AFTERNOON AFTER I DID MY POST ABOVE
This is the start of WSJ version: “Russia shipped a sophisticated nuclear-capable missile system toward its territorial exclave bordering Poland, according to Western government officials, introducing a powerful military asset into an already tense region and prompting expressions of concern by allied officials…. A Russian naval ship, according to the officials, was observed carrying an Iskander missile system toward the country’s Kaliningrad port. Kaliningrad is a seaside exclave of Russian territory between Poland and Lithuania…. Western officials said they believe Moscow deployed the missiles on a temporary basis as a display of strength as its relations with the U.S. reach a low….” (See “Russia Moves Nuclear-Capable Missile System Toward Polish Border” by Drew Henshaw & Julian Barnes, 10/7/16, Wall Street Journal/ World [http://www.wsj.com/articles/russia-moves-nuclear-capable-missile-system-toward-polish-border-1475868395]). --- There's lots more there, where that came from.....
CAN Y'ALL DIG IT ?... (WE CAN DIG IT !).....
Another tape is out with Trump talking about how he got caught cheating on Ivana & Marla.
Time to unite behind Gary Johnson
The MSM has ignored the african american support growing for Trump.
Bill Cosby just endorsed him & it didn't even get a mention.
The only people being moved by all these Trump tapes are uninformed, emotional and weak-minded. In other words, they are mostly women or Republican elected officials.
trump will lose and cost the GOP the senate
UPDATE: THE "MEDIA MELT-DOWN" EDITION
THE ENTIRE "ESTABLISHMENT" HAS GONE INTO A COMPLETE SWOON OVER TRUMP & WHAT IT THINKS MIGHT BE A KNOCK-OUT BLOW TO HIS PRESIDENTIAL CHANCES WITH LESS THAN A MONTH TO GO IN THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN --- ONE TOP NBC OPINIONATOR EVEN SAID THAT "THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL RACE IS OVER FOR DONALD TRUMP"
IT'S AMAZING WHAT'S GETTING LESS COVERAGE IN THE MSM THAN SOME OLD TRUMP TAPES SAYING THIS OR THAT ABOUT SOME WOMAN
IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHETHER DJT CAN FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY AND STING LIKE A BEE WHEN HE TAKES ON HRC TONIGHT
Hurricanes slamming the Southeast USA, murders of policemen, and a complete expose of Hillary's casual hypocrisy in the WikiLeaks material have gotten very short shrift as the pro-Clinton media and the anti-Trump "Establishment," both inside and outside the GOP, try to take down Donald Trump, once and for all.
Trump says that intends to stand tough against the firestorm now raging against him. Indications are that Trump will sting like a bee if things get too close and touchy during tonight's debate.
However, ultimately it is the hard-core Trump supporters and the rest of the voting public that will decide whether, after all of this week's media frenzy, Donald J. Trump can continue to defy gravity as a presidential candidate, and continue to float like a butterfly above the political storm.
I heard Mike Pence is taking a 30 day paternity leave
The presidential debate was blah !!
Trump looked like a loser
Martha Raddatz is supposed to have been some kind of a Mid-East expert, but she didn't correct Clinton when Hillary said she wasn't Secretary of State when the Obama Administration took its hollow "Red Line In The Sand" position --- either she's not much of an expert --- or Raddatz decided to give Hillary a pass for some reason.
UPDATE: THE "THE ORACLE OF OMAHA SPEAKS WITH FORKED-TONGUE" EDITION
THE HEADLINES SAY "WARREN BUFFETT HITS BACK AT TRUMP OVER TAXES" -- BUT ISN'T BUFFETT REALLY HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT ???
BLAH-BLAH-BLAH -- BUFFETT NEVER USED THE DEDUCTIONS TRUMP DID -- BLAH, BLAH, BLAH --- BUT BILLIONS OF BUFFETT
Buffett is trying to con everybody exactly the same way that the rest of the Hillary crowd is trying to blame Trump.
Reuters tells us that Warren Buffett is something like the third richest man on earth, and without missing a beat, Reuters tells us that ".... Buffett said he paid about $1.85 million in income tax in 2015 and that returns for previous years were similar in respect to contributions, deductions and tax rates. Buffett said he was being audited by the Internal Revenue Service but had 'no problem' releasing his tax information...."
They expect us not to know that the Buffet empire, Berkshire H, makes billions (with a "B") in its good years, and occasionally, in "bad" years, beaucoup millions (with an "M" and lots of zeroes) --- plus, any gains that Warren B makes on Berkshire H stock remains unrealized in most years --- and on top of that, a lot of it is already sheltered in foundation(s) and trust(s)....
I think Trump should start drinking
i agree with above. the blow isnt working for him anymore
The real news that's not being reported by CNN and the rest of the pro-Clinton press is how the Podesta emails show that all three Clintons and all their top people are real super scumbags
COMMENT: THE "SERIOUSLY, NOBODY SEEMS TO BE GETTING THE JOKES" EDITION
PAUL RYAN AND GLENN BECK ARE AT IT (AGAIN)
--- RYAN IS >>> AGAIN <<< ACTIVELY NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN (WHEN EXACTLY WERE HIS POSITIONS AND ACTIONS ANY DIFFERENT ? )
--- AND GLENN BECK IS NOW MAKING THE >>> MORAL ARGUMENT <<< THAT REPUBLICANS MIGHT WELL CHOOSE NOT TO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP, EVEN THOUGH HILLARY CLINTON BECOMES THE NEXT PRESIDENT AS A RESULT (AND WHAT WAS BECK'S POSITION UP UNTIL NOW ?)
Maybe it's me, but haven't all these types of "NEVER-TRUMP" Republicans been heard from already on these matters during the 2016 campaign >>> repeatedly ? I know that history repeats, but is it really supposed to be this often and in such quick succession ?
In any case, that old saw ends with this: "... first time tragedy -- next time, farce..." That's the interesting part --- both Beck and Ryan are getting ANOTHER fifteen minutes of fame from the MSM for this.
Now, I'm sure that the mainstream media does "get it" about both Beck and Ryan, even though they seem to be playing all of this with a straight face (that's their part of the joke, that and knowing it is a lose-lose deal for all GOPers).
Since, the real joke is on all Republicans, and especially the ones that do take all of this stuff seriously, one wonders how anybody can take buffoons like Beck and Ryan seriously anymore. And look at that, they even have me repeating myself.....
Seriously ! I mean SERIOUSLY ! ! !
Gail, forget about that stuff.
Focus on Hillary and how Donald Trump described her as so full of hate that she called more than half his supporters deplorables and unredeemable. That's because most of all Hillary hates the everyday Americans who won't vote for her.
Todays news is that she hates everyday Americans so much that she even took the term "Everyday Americans" out of one of her earliest speeches in Keene, New Hampshire, before the NH Primary.
The Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama foreign policy has led to a new Cold War with Russia and a possible Russian-Chinese Alliance for the first time since Nixon & Kissinger played the China Card in the early 1970s.
