Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Friday conceded that he never applied nor was granted admission to West Point and attempted to recast his previous claims of a full scholarship to the military academy — despite numerous public and written statements to the contrary over the last few decades.
West Point has occupied a central place in Carson’s personal story for years. According to a tale told in his book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen.

Alex Jones is wrong. Ben Carson is just getting started. I used to trust Alex Jones. Now, I think he makes a little too much noise to get people to believe him. He offers up some legitimate info but as a professing Christian, I would think he would find reasons to promote Ben Carson’s values. The lies of current people in the Whitehouse far outweigh any contrived accusation about some stupid scholarship offer he verbally received so many years ago. If you want to know who Ben Carson is, go straight to his website and read it. He is a highly motivated and knowledgeable man. And a true statesman. Worthy of the office of the President of the United States. He is calm, level headed, fair, honest, intelligent, need I go on? People, do your own research here. Don’t trust Alex Jones.
