Trump vs. shariah law

Wall St. Journal here:

It wasn’t immediately clear what the test—he called it “extreme vetting,” a phrase that didn’t appear in his prepared remarks—would include, but Mr. Trump suggested he would ban not only terrorist sympathizers but those who believe in Shariah law, don’t believe in the U.S. Constitution or “support bigotry and hatred.”

Shariah law is the legal system of Islam that governs public and private behavior.

So much for a nonstarter. Shariah-supporters we do not want.

Such as this Trump-bashing Hillary supporter

How you feelin’, Hill?

One or two inquiring minds have it on their minds.

What’s going on with Hillary Clinton’s health? That’s a question many people are asking these days. There’s a lot we still don’t know about the mysterious health scare Clinton suffered in December 2012, when she was hospitalized for what was later described as a blood clot on her brain.

The event was shrugged off as a minor scare, and Hillary eventually returned to work as secretary of state, sporting a pair of very thick spectacles. However, in 2014, Bill Clinton revealed that his wife’s “terrible” health episode “required six months of very serious work to get over.”
