We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness — That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government…

And then you have those powerful entities, the adverse interests, who seek to retain their personal benefit within the construct of a corrupted political system.

If you were to define Wall Street you would not be able to separate various entities who are operating entirely to retain power, influence and personal benefit, at any cost.
Certainly not the least among them Rupert Murdoch (Fox, Fox Business Channel, National Geographic, FX; the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, TV Guide; Barron’s and SmartMoney; book publisher HarperCollins; film production companies 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures and Blue Sky Studios), and the various international business interests of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, President Tom Donohue, and a host of high-finance Hedge Fund Managers who are working earnestly to control a vulgarian uprising amid the electorate.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Lobbying Efforts 2014/2015:

• Promotion of federal Common Core education standards.
• Maintain Obamacare without repeal or adjustment.
• Comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty.
• Trans-Pacific Trade Deal Approval.

These legislative priorities are not just the goals of the self interested billionaire class of connected power brokers, Wall Street.  No, like ObamaCare, these goals are antithetical to the best interests of a nation.  Freedom is lessened as a consequence of their passage.
Both House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell have facilitated the pathway to passage for these legislative priorities.  While Wall Street purchased insurance policies by way of political representatives to aid the facilitation. (more…)

FMLA is one of the most abused federally required employer mandates of all time.  It’s not surprising to see Marco Rubio team up with Hillary Clinton to advance yet another progressive mandate….

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Marco Rubio on Friday called for expanding the 1993 Family & Medical Leave Act – a central part of President Bill Clinton’s initial agenda upon taking office – to allow more American parents to spend more time with their families in need.
Speaking at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., Rubio said he wants to shore up the 23-year-old law because it has grown ‘insufficient’ for modern times.
Rubio reminded the audience that his parents were both born to poor families in Cuba, and only came to America after their marriage in 1956. (more…)

Many conservative news consumers are finding OAN News a great alternative to Fox News.  Here’s a great example why:

Donald Trump announced his intentions to run for President on June 16th, 2015; one hundred days ago.

Wow, what a hundred days it has been.
Think about it.
In the past 100 days we have found out that virtually every espoused position of the “conservative media” was a total ruse. The Salem Media group primarily among them.
Red State (Eric Erickson) now finds himself proclaiming that Jeb Bush is the most conservative governor he’s ever known.  Web sites like Twitchy, Hot Air, Human Events, Michelle Malkin and National Review suddenly singing the praises of a Jeb Bush they formerly said was just another GOP establishment sell out.
Jeb goes from RINO villain to GOP hero faster than you can say Donald Trump.
“Conservative” punditry like George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Stephen Hayes, Charles Lane, Rich Lowry, Jonah Goldberg and many more opining on all media a previously hidden “open borders” position.  All of a sudden they are telling us walls will never work, illegal aliens are the bedrock of the U.S. social fabric and it’s profoundly unfair to even contemplate their deportation. Oh, the humanity.
That’s a serious dose of sunlight upon a previously hidden agenda.
Wow, what a ride. (more…)

Speaker John Boehner Quits

You’ll notice not a single reporter is questioning Speaker John Boehner over the missing Federal Budget.  A budget for a fiscal year that starts in SIX DAYS, on October 1st.  A fiscal year 2016 without a budget despite the House and Senate being in Republican control.
Boehner’s explanation?  Blah, blah, blah….   However, pay close attention to what Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says (at 01:23) from the Senate floor about Speaker Boehner’s leaving.

 (01:23)….”and he took over at a very difficult time for his party“…

Let that sink in.  Whose party?  “HIS PARTY” says “Republican” Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.

CNN / WMUR have produced yet another New Hampshire primary poll (again, full pdf below).  CNN Media apparently desperate to find some glimmer of hope, something, anything, to support the Vulgarian Trump being eliminated.
Alas, the gnashing of teeth commences, no such luck.  “Top Tears”  Donald Trump has gained 15 points since July; Carly Fiorina gained 11 pts, John Kasich gained 5, and both Marco Rubio and Ben Carson gained 3 ( <– whadda surge).

Jeb Bush leads the Biggest Losers with 9 points lost, followed by Rand Paul who is winning in reverse dropping 6.  Methinks that costly check to Kentucky for the super-special Rand Paul only primary may have been for naught.  I digress. (more…)

It was September of 2007 when George W Bush sat behind his oval office desk and signed into law the Fiscal Year 2008 Federal Budget. Exactly eight years ago.
It has now been eight consecutive years without a federal budget. Eight consecutive years of debt ceiling increases, continuing resolutions to fund government, threats of shut-downs and the insufferable back-and-forth blame.

But this year is different. You see for this budgetary year (constructed in ’15 for fiscal year 2016) the Republicans hold significant majorities in both the House and the Senate. And for those of you who don’t pay as close attention to these things, the fiscal year starts on October 1st.

Yeah, exactly a week from now !

… and yet we have NO BUDGET. Why?
Well, the honest answer to that question is what scares the hell out of the Professional Republican party. We have no federal budget this year, because, just like the Democrat party, the GOP doesn’t want a federal budget. (more…)

“Operation Hummingbird” is dependent upon the general Republican electorate/audience and media consumer being swayed by optics and manipulation as a strategy.  In essence full-throated “gaslighting“.
Cutting through that intent and getting to the substance of truth is really not too difficult, but you won’t find many outlets (new media or old) willing to go there.  However, as you are aware for us the Truth Has No Agenda, and Sunlight Is The Best Disinfectant.
We begin by watching this video of Carly Fiorina appearing on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and the discussion of a Muslim candidate eligible as U.S. President:

This report specifically states the FBI has recovered “work-related” email from the server used by Hillary Clinton.

(Via Bloomberg)  The FBI has recovered personal and work-related e-mails from the private computer server used by Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state, according to a person familiar with the investigation.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s success at salvaging personal e-mails that Clinton said had been deleted raises the possibility that the Democratic presidential candidate’s correspondence eventually could become public. The disclosure of such e-mails would likely fan the controversy over Clinton’s use of a private e-mail system for official business.
The FBI is investigating how and why classified information ended up on Clinton’s server. The probe probably will take at least several more months, according to the person, who described the matter on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing and deals with sensitive information.
