We anticipate more than one thread will be needed for tonight’s election night results. It will be a late night for Oregon results (around 11:00pm)

Oregon and Kentucky (Dem Only) Vote Today

√ Hillary Wins Kentucky (Barely – very close)

√ Bernie Sanders Wins Oregon (53%).

√ Donald Trump wins Oregon (68%)

♦ On the Democrat side Kentucky is a must win for Hillary Clinton, she doesn’t stand a chance in Oregon. Sanders would continue his forward momentum with a victory tonight in Kentucky and Oregon. The stakes are high.
UPDATE 10:30pm:  Kentucky is super close.  However, Hillary Clinton sycophant Alison Lundergun Grimes (KY Secretary of State) actually went on live TV (via CNN) with 99% of the vote in [Clinton 46.7% to Sanders 46.3%] and declared Hillary Clinton the winner:
♦ The media is doing everything they can to take down Team Bernie tonight, but Bernie had a strong victory in Oregon.
♦ On the Republican side Donald Trump easily won Oregon.

A new PPP poll from Arizona (full pdf below) shows Senator John McCain is in a serious battle for the GOP primary.  Challenger Kelli Ward is currently tied with McCain at 41% and the majority of republican electorate have a negative view of McCain.

Some of the internal polling results might be surprising to readers and political followers, especially given the preferred media narratives bantered about by the insufferable MSM punditry.
Example:  Kelli Ward is more heavily supported by Men 46/40 over McCain.  Conversely Women support McCain 43/36 over Ward.  The complete opposite narrative from what national punditry will opine (gaslight) when discussing gender based voting. (more…)

Given the current state of political dysfunction, coupled with U.S. federal finances, this 2013 epic rant from MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan can be viewed as an almost eerily prescient prediction for the candidacy of Donald Trump:

Just because the so-called “conservative” and “liberal” punditry and politicos refuse to answer this question, doesn’t mean we should stop asking it.

In 2009 President Obama along with congress passed the roughly $900 billion stimulus bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The “non-shovel ready” spending took place within fiscal year 2010/2011. The amount is significant because the injected stimulus was 30% more than the entire federal budget for the same year.

However, since Fiscal Year 2008 we’ve never had a federal budget, preferring instead to fund government via base-line budgeting, continuing resolutions, increased in the debt ceiling, and omnibus spending.
As a direct result of the “baseline-budgeting” part of that spending approach, the federal government re-spent the ’09 “Stimulus” (first spent in FY ’10) in all subsequent fiscal years: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 (started last October), and 2017 (December’s Paul Ryan Omnibus bill).
That’s seven direct times the $900 billion “Stimulus” has been spent.
Seven times $900 billion equals $6.3 Trillion, or sixty three hundred billion.
Where is it?
What did we get for it?
What are we currently getting while continuing to spend it?

Western liberal media is stuck between a rock and a hard place when discussing Venezuela.  A decade long economic devolution as a direct result of yet another attempt at socialism is ending the same way the socialist experiment has always ended, total misery.

Venezuela is struggling both economically and politically, facing massive food shortages, regular blackouts, skyrocketing inflation and an increasingly dire public health situation. Hospitals lack beds, antibiotics, medical equipment, doctors, even running water.

Against the backlash from Facebook being exposed for controlling content based on ideological views, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced he was going to meet with “conservative voices” to discuss their concerns.
Glenn Beck subsequently announced his participation in this upcoming meeting. –SEE HERE –
It’s all smoke and mirrors folks.  This PR ruse is about the most insufferable damage control amid years of behind-the-scenes political consultation is, well, silly.
The control of Facebook and other social media platforms to push political narratives is well documented, and extends far beyond non-traditional social media.  Matt Drudge was talking about it last year (see here).  And we’ve been following it since 2010.
Consider this picture:

Yes, that’s the leadership within the House of representatives in the spring of 2014 (Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy) meeting with Facebook’s CEO, Zuckerberg, and COO Sheryl Sandberg, to outline how Facebook could help the House of Representative pass comprehensive immigration reform by removing oppositional viewpoint from the social media feeds.

Congressman Tim Huelskamp appeared on Fox News Sunday today to provide the #NeverTrumpers with a proselytizing butthurt voice in the media cycle.  Huelskamp was so proud of himself after the interview, he bragged about it to his #NeverTrump cohorts.
Of course, it goes without saying, corporate Fox News Broadcasting is more than willing to give the location coordinates  to a social purity moonbat on a kamikaze mission in order to continue their efforts to sabotage any adversary to Wall Street’s preferred candidate, Hillary Clinton.

It is doubtful you could find a more representative persona (and set of accompanying arguments) for the typical Ted Cruz supporter than Tim Huelskamp.
In the video below the congressman outlines how Donald Trump fails all applied social litmus tests for conservative purity because Mr. Trump is not: religious enough, preachy enough, politically correct enough, and in a general sense is too crass for the moral authority wing of the religious right.
As Congressman Huelskamp outlines, those who are elected to legislate on appropriate bathroom issues, tone and manners, gender roles, as well as appropriate hem lengths, distance between dance partners and the dangers of modern cultural music, are aghast that a republican electorate would consider such vulgar “New York values” (<— yes Alice, he actually said that).
You must watch this video below and you’ll see exactly why “Religious Purity Conservative Republicans” lose elections: (more…)

Most people who understand the UniParty are the same people who railed against the Mitt Romney candidacy in 2012.  Mitt Romney, George Bush, Jeb, same-same-same.  So it should come as no surprise the enemy of Mitt Romney’s GOPe/UniParty effort, is actually us.
The reality is, if it wasn’t due to the Romney election machinations in 2012, we would never have been motivated to discover the origin of the networks which created the scheme.  Both 2011/2012 and 2015/2016 schemes were essentially the same.
In my own personal estimation, I believe Donald Trump knew this exact same construct. Trump knew the ruse, he saw it duplicating itself again, and frustrated he simply said ‘enough’…

(Via Washington Examiner)  Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., who has staked out a leading role as a Donald Trump critic, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are the top prospects being courted to run as an independent candidate against Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Mitt Romney, the Republican’s 2012 presidential nominee, is among a group of Republicans actively leading the independent candidate effort, according to a Washington Post report. Sources tell the Post Romney has personally reached out to both men in recent days. (more…)

In the continuing saga showcasing the mountain of evidence exemplifying the insufferable disconnect from the elites who control the legislative agenda of DC, the head weasel stands up to opine. 
During a U.S. Chamber of Commerce meeting in Washington DC, President Tom Donohue outlines how his constituency is flummoxed by this Trump person they keep hearing of.  Who is he? and what does this mean for the $300+ million they have paid congress for passage of the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal, they ask…..

[…]  U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue said that his members are scratching their heads and searching for answers about how the billionaire businessman would operate if he wins the White House in November.
“I hear mostly concern from our members,” Donohue told reporters during a trade briefing at the Chamber in Washington.
Donohue said he hears questions like, “Who is this guy? What do we know about him? How will he behave?”

There is a new awakening amid the electorate; one that has been a long time coming, but it is finally here.  More Americans are aware of the UniParty than ever before.

FACT:  When both teams in the Super Bowl are owned by the same person, the Lombardi Trophy is destined to end up the same cabinet regardless of who wins.

There is only one party in Washington DC, the UniParty.  They are funded by the same ownership, Wall Street; and their legislative victories end up with the same benefactors.  The candidacy of Donald Trump represents a second party option for the first time in two decades.

As a consequence, when Bill Kristol advocates for a Ben Sasse or Mitt Romney candidacy, he is framing the fallacy of false choice.  Kristol can claim his framework is more than a Potemkin village attempt as a counter argument, but the truth is evident in reality.
Here’s proof, empirical evidence, of the UniParty construct.
