FBI Video Release of LaVoy Finicum Shooting – and Why CTH Is Reluctant to Engage…

Against my better judgement, and acquiescing to a rather overwhelming number of requests, here is the official FBI released video of the LaVoy Finicum shooting near Burns Oregon:

There are several reasons why we have chosen not to dig into this specific aspect of this event, after posting the first three research articles.  Here’s the ones we’re comfortable stating: (more…)

Iowa Secretary of State Identifies Cruz Campaign ‘Voter Shaming Letter’ as Fraud – “Misrepresents Iowa election law”…

The Iowa Secretary of State, Paul Pate, has now called out the Ted Cruz campaign for falsely representing Iowa election law, in their campaign “shaming letter“.

Press Release Below:

iowa state sealDES MOINES – “Today I was shown a piece of literature from the Cruz for President campaign that misrepresents the role of my office, and worse, misrepresents Iowa election law. Accusing citizens of Iowa of a “voting violation” based on Iowa Caucus participation, or lack thereof, is false representation of an official act. There is no such thing as an election violation related to frequency of voting. Any insinuation or statement to the contrary is wrong and I believe it is not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa Caucuses”. (more…)

Biden and Hillary

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration confirmed for the first time Friday that Hillary Clinton’s unsecured home server contained some of the U.S. government’s most closely guarded secrets, censoring 22 emails with material demanding one of the highest levels of classification. The revelation comes just three days before the Iowa presidential nominating caucuses in which Clinton is a candidate.

The State Department will release its next batch of emails from Clinton’s time as secretary of state later Friday.

Candidate Donald Trump is Exposing the Entire Sordid and Corrupt Political Media Scheme….

“He’s like a quarterback scrambling around and no-one can catch him” ~ David Axelrod

“He’s quite possibly the smartest campaign strategist in modern history” ~ Jeffrey Lord

Both true.  However, what Trump is really doing is simultaneously exposing the entire sordid, corrupt, self-serving, financial manipulative scheme -within a national political construct- that has remained hidden just beneath the surface…..

Look below the surface

…a horribly corrupt beast, fed by an oblivious electorate. A behemoth, made of media and various news outlets, who serves the financial needs of left and right-wing talking heads, and exists exclusively to keep them in power.

For years we have called those who control this monster: “The Decepticons”. Professional deceivers who exist exclusively for their own scheme and graft.

Yeah, Donald J Trump is exposing it all.

Brilliantly.

Danish Teen Faces Charges For Fighting Off Rapist Using Pepper Spray…

Progressive Liberalism on display, yet again, in the multicultural petri dish that has become the European Union as a direct result of mass uncontrolled migration….

mass migration(Denmark News In English)  A 17-year-old girl who was physically and sexually attacked in Sønderborg will herself face charges for using pepper spray to fend off her assailant.

The teenager told police that she was attacked in central Sønderborg on Wednesday at around 10pm by a dark-skinned English-speaking man. She said the man knocked her to the ground and then unbuttoned her pants and attempted to undress her.

The girl was able to save herself from further assault by using pepper spray on the attacker, but now she may be the one who ends up in legal trouble. (more…)

The Establishment’s Last Hope – An Unvetted Marco Rubio…

For those who were not reading in October when we shared: “Candidate Marco Rubio Gains an Additional Master“, you might want to refresh; because much of what was covered in that Halloween 2015 review is now coming to pass.

marco rubio and jill kelly

Vetting a candidate is a process of deep research into the history, activity, associations, affiliations and prior background of a political candidate.  Marco Rubio is the least publicly vetted candidate in the race, and there’s a very good reason for that.

Whenever the media are not deep into a GOP candidate’s background, it’s generally because the information therein holds more value for their ideological use at a later date.

The days of reporters actually doing the legwork of research are in the rear view mirror.  Modern political vetting is done by private entities, private investigative teams, generally outside the official campaign administration of opponents.  That type of research is called opposition research, or “Oppo-research”.    (more…)

Byron York – Dateline New Hampshire […]  At the gathering’s dinner Friday night, I sat next to former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu and his wife Nancy. When we talked about the presidential race — a race in a state whose ground-level politics Sununu knows better than almost anyone — Sununu must have said some version of “I don’t know what is going on” about a dozen times….

Joe Biden Talks With Turkey’s Recep Erdogan as Mitch McConnell Tees Up Authorization for Military Force Against ISIS…

There’s no way these media reports are accidental or not directly connected.  And none of this looks the least bit good against the larger dynamic of the Syrian crisis and President Stompy Feet’s prior position on ISIS.

BidenObama Erdogan - Turkey

Yesterday, well, actually Friday, the release of the information was yesterday, Vice-President Joe Biden met in Turkey with President Recep Erdogan.  They met for several hours as reported in The Hill and the topic was an escalated U.S./Turkish military footprint against ISIS :

Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday said the U.S. and regional ally Turkey are prepared to seek a military solution in Syria to try to solve the nation’s five-year-long civil war.

Speaking after a meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Istanbul, Biden stressed that a political solution to the problem would still be preferable.

“But we are prepared if that’s not possible to having a military solution to this operation and taking out Daesh,” he said, according to AFP, using another name for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

An Actuarial Look At The Closing Pace of GOP Presidential Politics – Glenn Beck Endorses Ted Cruz, and Prefers Bernie Sanders?……

Most of you knew this was going to be a wild ride. Heck, many knew back in June 2015 when candidate Donald Trump entered the race this was going to be unlike anything we’d ever seen.  Boy howdy, was that ever an understatement

Going all the way back to the spring of 2014 those who didn’t fall into the emotional chasm, which surrounds candidate advocacy, saw the makings of a really strange situation possible.  Today many of those possibilities are now front and center.

In Iowa…. candidate Ted Cruz takes to the stage next to Glenn Beck to accept a quickly structured endorsement to stem the electoral collapse.  If pictures are worth a thousand words, the look on Senator Cruz’s face is, well, priceless:

cruz beck 2

And really, who can blame him….. poor Ted eh’?

After all, the endorsement comes from a man who uses a radio and media platform to continually decry “identity politics” yet uses the event to proclaim his anointed candidate based on what else, ethnic identity: (more…)

Florida First-Grade Teacher Under Investigation for “Lesson in Racism”…

An unnamed Florida elementary school teacher is suspended and ‘under investigation’ for conducting an experiment/lesson in segregation using their classroom.  As typically the case when media begin reporting on the issue, the school claims no knowledge or approval of anything…. always after the fact, and always after media catches on.

florida schoolMINNEOLA, Fla. —A Lake County mom is outraged over what one teacher tried explaining to her students during what she called a “lesson in racism.”

Lychelle Bland wants her daughter to learn black history, but not by being discriminated against.  “It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard that a teacher did to teach a child something,” Bland said.

The principal of Minneola Elementary Charter School said that Tuesday after Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a first-grade teacher conducted an unapproved classroom experiment without notifying the school or parents. Kids, ages 7 and 8, were separated by eye color, then discriminated against for several hours. (more…)
