Mr. Payne, the veteran who is also at the site, said the group was not violent. But he also said members had discussed the possibility that the standoff could turn violent.
Referring to the federal government, he added, “If they think that’s worth bringing their armies in here and harming or fouling that endeavor, we’ll just have to read the Constitution and look at our Bibles and see who’s on the right side.”

“That’s why he’s calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, until we can figure out what’s going on

He’ll quickly cut the head off ISIS and take their oil.

And he’ll stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for.”

In an interview Sunday with The Post, Trump said that he has six to eight ads in production and that his was a “major buy and it’s going to go on for months.” He said he hopes the spots impress upon undecided voters that the country has become “a dumping ground.”

“It’s about immigration and safety, and they play hand in hand,” he said. “If you look at every poll, I’m the leader on the economy, but it’s immigration and ISIS, too. I’m bringing them all together.”

They're all doing it. He's just the loudest. Hearing Rubio's NYE message talking about the "disastrous past seven years" as if we were in the midst of a new Great Depression or in a devastating war. At some point, the hyperbolic rhetoric has to temper a bit, right?

Cruz's NYE message was similar. It's like we are living in a different country. I look around and am not stepping over the bodies or having to barter for food. Some people are living rough lives, but any look at any statistic shows we are doing fine in the aggregate, especially in comparison to late 2008/early 2009. There's lots to work on (and I've seen decline in worker rights, for example), but we are not a third world country here, folks.

Turkish officials maintain that they are committed to a political resolution and will return to negotiations after the military campaign, but it has become increasingly unclear who would negotiate for the Kurds.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has labeled the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party, or H.D.P., an extension of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or P.K.K., and refuses to hold talks with its leaders until they prove themselves “a serious and genuine political party.”
The Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party for the first time crossed the 10 percent legal threshold for representation in Parliament in elections in June. It retained that foothold in the November vote, though its share of seats shrank.
