THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

Time to put America First With Congressional Democrats demanding that the U.S. do her "fair share" and accept 100,000 Syrian refugees next year, Breitbart.com has released some alarming figures regarding our welfare system and refugees: "According to the Office of Refugee Resettlement...in Fiscal Year 2013, 91.4 percent of Middle Eastern refugees...received food stamps, 73.1 percent were on Medicaid or Refugee Medical Assistance, and 68.3 percent were on cash welfare." Senator Jeff Sessions office pointed out that " ...concerning all immigration, the Migration Policy Institute notes that the U.S. has taken in 'about 20 percent of the world's international migrants even as it represents less than 5 percent of the global population.' It seems to me that America is doing more than her fair to help the world's refugees. It's time to put America first. Not All Attacks Are Created Equally Donald Trump has, until this past week, been handling some of his opponents differently than others. With some he's taken to outright attacks, like when he attacked former New York Governor George Pataki for being "unfit to lead and polling zero in the polls." Trump has been much kinder to fellow front-runner, Dr. Ben Carson. His harshest criticism was that Carson lacks "the energy to be a leader ." There was, however, a surprising civility in those attacks. Trump, while criticizing Carson for having a lack of energy, couched his insults with phrases like "Ben is a nice man" and "Carson is a good doctor...not great..but good." Carson responded to Trump's accusations of low energy by saying, "I recognize that I have plenty of energy. When you operate on people for 10, 12 hours," continued Carson, "[you must make] critical decisions after many hours of intense work..." Trump is trying to find a way to bring down Carson's favorability rating which is now above 50%. When a candidate's favorability gets that high, it becomes a risk to attack too hard. A lesson Trump may be learning now.
