Sometimes you just have to laugh.   However, it really sucks to be Gary Johnson right now.
Poll after poll is showing presidential candidate Gary Johnson in the race hurts Hillary Clinton more than Donald Trump.  And you know what that means?
Yup, time for the MSM to wage a thermonuclear media operation against the guy.

If only Gary Johnson was hurting Donald Trump instead of Hillary Clinton the media would have brushed the flub under the rug.   Alas…

“Deported five times”…

TEXAS – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said a man accused of serial rape in the Austin area was deported five times before his most recent arrest in August. Nicodemo Coria-Gonzales faces six charges including aggravated sexual assault and kidnapping. In one case, a victim told police he poured gasoline on her and tried to set her on fire.
Police said Coria-Gonzalez admitted he had picked up prostitutes and beat them out of anger. He is currently being held without bond on an immigration detainer.
“There’s bad, really bad people, who want to do us real harm who are coming at us from all different directions north, south, east and west,” said Immigration specialist Thomas Esparza, Jr. (more…)

Earlier today CNN’s Chris Cuomo interviewed Corey Lewandowski (Trump) and Christine Quinn (Clinton) to get each campaigns perspective on current discussions of U.S. foreign policy and military use (video after background).
Notice how no-one, unfortunately even Lewandowski, references President Obama specifically selecting General John Allen in 2014 to lead the White House coordinated campaign against ISIS.

Flashback Sept 11th 2014 – U.S. officials told the Associated Press on Thursday that retired Marine Lieutenant General John Allen will coordinate the broad international effort to battle the self-declared Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), as nations begin to determine what part they will play.

The appointing of General Allen specifically followed an alarming admission by President Obama himself, on August 28th 2014, that the White House had no strategy to defeat ISIS. Watch this to refresh:

Here is the transcript from today’s Donald Trump campaign event in Greensville, North Carolina. In Donald Trump’s speech tonight he hit upon the key element:

This speech is intensely critical.  Take your time to comprehend it slowly.  I’ve highlighted a key paragraph that just astounded me when I heard it….
[ TRANSCRIPT ] Thank you. It’s great to be back in North Carolina.
In 62 days, we are going to win this state – and we are going to win the White House.
This is our chance to end years of injustice, corruption and betrayal.
This is our chance to solve all of the problems that have gone unsolved for so many years.
For how long have people been saying Washington is broken and controlled by special interests?
This is the year we can finally fix it.
That’s because change has to come from outside of our broken and corrupt system.
We will never fix our rigged system by relying on the people who rigged it in the first place.
We will never solve our problems by relying on the politicians who created our problems.

“Electronic Soup Cards”

That term, “electronic soup cards“, is simply brilliant.  It is powerfully brilliant because it is entirely correct.
As a person who searches for simple word assemblies to covey significant issues, I must admit that concise terminology is the best turn of words I’ve heard in years.

Factually, if the number of American people on EBT or SNAP welfare benefits had to line up for soup and meals (instead of just get money on an electronic card for use anywhere), there would be massive lines, miles-long lines, all day and all night in hundreds of thousands of soup kitchens nation-wide.   Such visibility would make the soup lines of the great depression seem insignificant by comparison.
The EBT and SNAP cards are exactly that, “Electronic Soup Cards”.

The reverberations from open border policies, and mass immigration continue to surface.  The latest evidence is found today in North-Eastern Germany where the AfD party (Alternative for Deutschland/Germany), German Nationalists, has won a significant electoral victory in the home district of Angela Merkel. 
Globalists are shocked, SHOCKED….

(Via Reuters) German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats were beaten into third place by the anti-immigrant and anti-Islam Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in a north-eastern state election on Sunday, TV exit polls showed.
In a stinging defeat for Merkel in her home district that could weaken her chances of a fourth term in next year’s federal elections, the upstart AfD took 21.9 percent of the vote behind the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) in their first election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern by campaigning hard against the chancellor’s policies on refugees, according to a projection by ARD TV at 1.15 p.m. ET.
“This isn’t pretty for us,” said Michael Grosse-Broemer, one of Merkel’s top deputies in parliament in Berlin in a ZDF TV interview. “Those who voted for the AfD were sending a message of protest.” (more…)

If, like me, you haven’t been keeping up with the escalating crisis in Venezuela, you might be surprised at the scope of the protests in the past few days.
With massive food shortages still ongoing as a result of the economic crisis created by Nicholas Maduro policy, millions of people are now taking to the streets of the capital city of Caracus; and even chasing Maduro out of small towns and villages.

(Via ABC) Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro reportedly was greeted by angry pot-banging protesters during a visit to Margarita Island.

Grainy cellphone videos said to be from the Friday night encounter were picked up by Venezuelan news sites and were trending on social media. The socialist leader is seen jogging through a crowd as residents loudly bang on pots and hurl obscenities.

His visit to Margarita Island earlier Friday evening was broadcast nationwide. Images of the protest were later posted by residents of the town where it reportedly occurred. (link)

Same position. Same expressed intent. Two completely divergent reactions from the media:

Missing all the hardware, missing a dozen phones, missing iPads, missing mobile devices; an inability to remember anything; a belief that everyone else was responsible…. that’s just the beginning of the information found within the FBI files released today (full pdf’s below):

The FBI released today pages from the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server following pressure to release the documents.   The FBI released a summary of Clinton’s July 2 FBI interview and also a summary of the FBI investigation itself.

Rasmussen is considered a “right-leaning” polling firm the same way PPP is considered “left-leaning”.  Consequently all data, especially this year, should be taken with a grain of salt.   Raw data -when honestly collected- is of value; but the espoused interpretations of that data should be viewed skeptically regardless of delivery vehicle.

Today Rasmussen’s weekly tracking poll finds Donald Trump (40%) slightly ahead of Hillary Clinton (39%) and easily within the margin of error (+/- 3).  Of additional interest, Rasmussen joins with a growing number of other data sources to seek the answer to the possibly hidden Trump voter (ie. the monster vote).

By surveying “likely voters” about their willingness to share who they are voting for, Rasmussen discovers 25% of Independent voters are not willing to tell others who they are voting for.   17% of Republican likely voters are also unwilling; only 10% of Democrat voters feel the same way. (more…)
