The media has been attacking President Trump the last 24 hours for comments he made referencing Senator Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas." The truth is, however, that Navajo Indian and White House honoree, Thomas Begay, didn't take offense to the comments. Begay said, "The Marines made us yell 'Geronimo' when we jumped out of planes and that didn't offend me either." It would be nice if the media would stick to reporting the news and stop trying to make it.

A lot was made over the president, the fake news media jinning up the, you know, one Trump scandal after another for the past 24 hours, breathlessly reporting the use of the term Pocahontas.
And for Elizabeth Warren, who tried to pass herself off as a minority.
Well, anyway, the president said, referred to her again as Pocahontas.
In this meeting that he had yesterday, the media became apoplectic.
Senator Warren took the cue, and of course she says, well, it's code word.
It's racist.
Donald Trump is a racist.
Well, one of the code talkers who the president was supposedly offending actually said the Pocahontas remark wasn't offending in the least.
Anyway, Thomas Beggies broke his silence and literally said the Marines made us yell Geronimo when we jumped out of planes.
That didn't offend me either.
There is a new poll out by Change Research.
I don't know who they are in Alabama that shows Roy Moore up by five, so we'll watch that.
In other news we have today, now the GOP tax plan, according to the Wall Street Journal, and I know that there are those opposing it, they're now complaining, by the way, that it increases the national debt by $1.4 trillion over a 10-year period.
But what the critics won't tell you is the CBO assumes a growth rate at an anemic 1.9%.
That was the GDP under Obama.
Under Trump, we're headed for three plus GDP growth.
And if that holds for 10 years, well, that would more than cancel out the $1.4 trillion in additional debt.
It's all how you do the math.
And do you want economic growth?
And the president also very clear in this press conference that, you know, he'll let the government shut down rather than flood the U.S. with illegal immigrants.
And he said, meeting with Chuck and Nancy today about keeping government open and working, you know, the problem is they wanted illegal immigrants flooding into our country unchecked.
They're weak on crime and they want to substantially raise taxes.
I don't see a deal.
I don't see the president giving in on that either.
And the government never shuts down anyway.
