At a massive rally Monday night in Springfield, Illinois, The Donald rolled out his latest stand-up routines, taking on such topics as Ben Carson and the de-Christmasing of the holiday season.

In the book, Carson detailed having received a “full scholarship” to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
Yet the retired neurosurgeon’s standing with voters in preference polls has only gotten better.
In his 1990 autobiography, he says only that his older brother interceded to prevent him from hitting his mother; in numerous subsequent interviews, he has recalled threatening her with a hammer.
But that status is being threatened, he said, as fiscal irresponsibility spreads unchecked and a few seek to push God out of society and to mute intellectual debate. Many press outlets appear skeptical about his claims of violence.
Among the chief proponents of this theory seems to be Carson himself. But certainly, that has now changed.
260-a-12-(Dr. Ben Carson, Republican presidential candidate, addressing students at Liberty University)-“and one woman (applause fades)”-GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson says people who believe in traditional marriage face potential discrimination”. “They have been looking through everything”. “I don’t criticize them”.
“It’s worth stepping back and noting China makes it a practice to not get extended into military conflicts in the Middle East”, he said. I mean turning off the TV, what kind of wisdom was that?
I’ve spent weeks trying to figure out Dr. Ben Carson, the African-American former brain surgeon running for president. Steele said it’s to be expected. Falwell recognized Rogers, who was seated on the stage, earlier in the service, noting that he served at Liberty from 1974-99, most recently as its vice president for finance and administration.

Beatty also asked Carson if God is a missing factor in the problems we’re facing today. “In fact, I remember just the opposite”. Carson referenced his Christian faith multiple times throughout his remarks. “It’s not the environment, and that was incredibly empowering to me, and I stopped listening to all the people around me – all the naysayers who talked about what couldn’t be done – and I started thinking about what could be done and what a difference it made in my life”, he said. Jesus taught that the wealthy can not enter the reign of God while they are still wealthy.
Overall, Carson’s message before the audience was self-sufficiency. The other thing you have to do is you have to decrease the incentives for people to come here. “I hated poverty as a child”, he recounted.

What has surprised her, Martin says, is Carson’s suspicion of those who espouse religious convictions different from his own, especially Muslims. “Have you ever noticed there’s an American way, an American dream?” “We have to stop being afraid to stand up!”
