"There are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it like in the Bible with the locusts. And other people who stand around and watch them eat." Lillian Hellman

Mitt is horrified. Hillary's insulted. And Jeb is wringing his hands.
It's The Donald. He's in hot water, again.
He did the unthinkable, again. He mentioned the elephants in the room, the ones the Republican Establishment and Democrats never talk about.
Not ever.
Trump said Huma Abedin-Weiner's husband is a "perv".
He said Jeb No-Last-Name should stick to speaking English.
And Mitt? He's horrified because Donald is running for president and he can't, again.
Nobody is happy. The truth has a way of doing that.
While denial has become a way of life for both political parties and the media, Donald Trump isn't afraid to wade in and talk about what's really happening.
What Trump said about Human Abedin-Weiner's husband being a pervert? He is. There are pictures to prove it. You wouldn't want to see them, but there are pictures.
Trump told Jeb he should set an example and speak English while in the U.S.
He should.
"Maybe it's an homage to Jeb's wife," some said, and that could be true. But if his wife were born in Italy, would Jeb be delivering his speeches in Italian now?
Our country and culture are at stake, but you'd never know it to see Jeb in action. He's ready to surrender it all to illegal immigrants, just to garner votes.
In Hillary's case, it's just another part of the law she doesn't understand, like the First Amendment, or the meaning of "Classified." Yes, she's a lawyer and went to Yale Law School, but you'd never know it.
She thinks she can say, "Hands off my Huma, or else," and it's hands off.
But when Hillary chose Huma as her right hand man, the whole country got Huma, whether we liked it or not. So we have a right to know, and Trump has a right to ask: "Does Huma share sensitive government information with her 'Vulnerable-to-Blackmail Hubby?'"
It's called "Pillow Talk," and it's not just the title of an old Rock Hudson movie. It's what took down Gen. Petraeus and is a well-recognized security risk, one even Hillary should know about.
This isn't the first time questions have been asked about former Secretary of State Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff, Huma Abedin, but it's the first time anyone listened: When Trump asked.
Back in 2012, Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and five other conservative Congressmen requested an investigation into Abedin family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. They were concerned about Muslim infiltration into our government.
Which would be called a background check.
Bachmann was ridiculed. There was a hue and cry for her to be removed from the House Intelligence Committee -- from Republican colleagues. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) took umbrage at her gall, and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) proclaimed his great friendship with Huma from the Senate floor, expressing his indignation that anyone should ask anything about her.
Like a background check.
It is known Abedin's mother is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, the female branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
And World Trade bombing prosecutor Andrew McCarthy wrote in National Review: "The ties of Ms. Abedin's father, mother and brother to the Muslim Brotherhood are both specific and substantiated."
Abedin-Weiner herself worked at the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, a journal which promotes Islamic ideology, from 1996 to 2003, while also working for Hillary.
The Journal was founded by al-Qaeda financier, Abdullah Omar Naseef, who also ran the Rabita Trust, which was designated as a terrorist organization by the United States.
So Trump wasn't out of line for asking. Bachmann wasn't either.
It's no wonder Hillary wants hands off her Huma. Trump is asking questions Hillary would rather not have asked, and making statements Jeb and Mitt would rather not hear.
So what do you think of Hillary and her crew? Do you think she put our country in danger by storing classified State Department e-mails on her personal server, in a bathroom, in Colorado?
What do you think of her judgment? Do you think she put our country at risk when she and Deputy Chief of Staff Huma and Chief of Staff Cheryl used that server to send and receive State Department e-mails? Or when she paid a State Department employee, Bryan Pagliano, just a "guy," with no national security background, to maintain the server at her Chappaqua home?
It was time someone did more than talk about the country's national security. And Trump did.
It's an issue which isn't just for political commentary anymore, but which is, according to former Vice President Dick Cheney, the most important issue in choosing our next president.
Hold the line, America.
