Tonight at 8:00pm the heavy political news day continues with a five candidate Presidential Town Hall hosted by CNN.

The event begins at 8:00pm EST and is scheduled through 11:00pm.

Candidates Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Donald Trump will appear live on  CNN.  Bernie Sanders is scheduled to appear via satellite feed.  All five presidential candidates will be questioned individually by host Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer – it appears most of the Q&A will be interview style.

There is not a publicly available schedule to find out the order of appearance.

The Town Hall event is being broadcast on CNN and CNNi.

When candidate Donald Trump announced his candidacy to run for President last year we knew immediately there would be a seismic shift in the political landscape.  Those who have followed politics in the last 8+ years suspected the 2016 race would inevitably boil down to Globalists -vs- U.S. Nationalists.

However, with the introduction of Mark Levin’s Conservative Review publishing a target list of those they don’t agree with, we have officially entered the realm of the absurd.  The collective ‘conservative‘ ilk within the punditry class have assembled their fascist blacklist(s) to target their opposition – and it’s not leftists, it’s us.

I doubt there has ever been a time when we have laughed so heartedly.

Too many years decades of Wall Street’s influence over legislative priorities are clearly evident for anyone not to anticipate the professional political class would view any America-First candidate as a threat to their financial motivations.  But to see the apoplectic reactions from those within the corporate conservative media is, well, pure delicious sunlight.

In physics the “Theory of Everything” is a hypothetical single, all-encompassing, coherent theoretical framework of physics that fully explains and links together all physical aspects of the universe.  As a metaphor for current political questions, particularly those surrounding Senator Ted Cruz, a similar precept exists.

There is a comment on one of the Cruz research threads which explains almost all the irreconcilables of Senator Ted Cruz behavior.

Now, the value in any given, albeit normally innocuous, comment can be easily overlooked.  However, this comment actually stands up against all methods of deconstruction.

Our archive holds hundreds, if not tens of hundreds, of individual empirical data points of research into Ted Cruz’s action, behavior and specific instances of activity (2010-2016) which, if a comment explaining his motive is going to be considered inherently plausible, would need to be reconciled.

As stunning as it seems, this comment does exactly that: (more…)

This Means: WE ARE WINNING !!

Mitt Romney delivers the ultimate endorsement for Senator Ted Cruz via a Facebook post today where he announces his intent to vote for Cruz in the election next week.

The globalists within the corrupted UniParty are now in full panic mode because all previous attempts to destroy Donald Trump have failed.  Both sides of the infected political body view candidate Trump as an existential threat to their ability to continue carrying out the objectives of the financial elites who construct legislative priorities.

The political extortion racket is at risk.  Legislative “Toll Booths” may be lost.

Specifically because candidate Donald Trump refutes their money and the accompanying agenda, the various usurping agents on both sides of the UniParty are trying desperately to stop him, and remain in power.  Wall Street, K-Street and the corrupt political officials they purchase are now desperate to stop Trump.  (more…)

In addition to the intense disinformation campaign from corporate media, the disinfecting sunlight from visible alliances is now exposing the entire DC-based UniParty political apparatus.

As apoplectic Paul Ryan supporting ‘conservatives’ gathered today to discuss how to protect the right side penthouse suites of the UniParty, the left-side residents have agreed to support the unified endeavors.

Erick Erickson, famous for his “Jeb Bush is the most conservative governor in history” comment, leads the charge to support Cruz from the right-wing punditry of the UniParty apologists.   The insufferable idiocy of the Erickson wing is best highlighted by reviewing the words in their collective statement as presented after their meeting:

[…]  we intend to keep our options open as to other avenues to oppose Donald Trump.  Our multiple decades of work in the conservative movement for free markets, limited government, national defense, religious liberty, life, and marriage are about ideas, not necessarily parties. (link)

Well, there you have it.  Decades of work for free markets, limited government, etc.  In the proverbial words of Dr. Phil: “How’s that been working out for ya“?  Because it’s been hell on everyone else.

A common response to the shenanigans of the RNC/GOPe from the comments:

Major Chris Dickson USA (Ret):  “I just informed the RNC that after voting for over 46 years as a Republican, having served on Staff for U.S. Senator Dan Coats (R-IN), and having run as a Republican for the General Assembly, immediately following the Indiana primary I am leaving the Republican Party and going Independant. They no longer represent my core values because all they do is “Rubber-Stamp” everything Obama shoves at them!”

WARNING:

That’s exactly what the RNC hope you’ll do.

The goal of the RNC is to drive out those who don’t agree with them so the party remains with a small closed circle of narrow-minded sycophants. Then they close the party election to registered republicans, and you’re permanently locked out.

If you want to be able to effect change, you have to begin thinking of U.S. politics in general, and presidential politics specifically, as an insurgency.

Being part of a political insurgency means you accept the role of eliminating the RNC apparatus you dislike, by taking a more strategic approach and destroying them from the inside. Hence, the Trump approach, and our support for it. (more…)

Well, if the RNC/GOPe were attempting to keep up pretenses, it appears that’s all gone now.  During a CNBC interview Curly Haugland explains the RNC will select the republican nominee for president and the primary voters are irrelevant and inconsequential peons to be summarily dismissed.

Mr. Haugland is very transparent about it the RNC/GOPe intents; even going so far as to say he doesn’t even know why the RNC go through the process of holding primary elections [@3:26].  (watch video all the way through)

(Via CNBC) Political parties, not voters, choose their presidential nominees, a Republican convention rules member told CNBC, a day after GOP front-runner Donald Trump rolled up more big primary victories. (more…)

Just watch.  Steve Malzberg nails this commentary 100%, and provides audio visual substance to back it up.

We have closely followed the relationship between the professional community organizers, social justice warriors and political interests for too long not to notice when they find common cause and converge in unity.

It certainly appears the various sub-sets of political influence, and the globalists who coordinate the financial support for them, the far-left and far-right, have united with the common purpose of eliminating the nationalist risk, Donald Trump.  (note the flag)

Additionally, it would be dishonest not to accept the recent meeting in Sea Island Georgia brought together many of the financial stakeholders who view candidate Trump as a clear and present danger to their globalist intentions.   The odds of so many far-left members of the elite billionaire class meeting with Karl Rove inc. for anything less than a strategy session would be obtuse in the extreme.

[…] Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker, and Tesla Motors and SpaceX honcho Elon Musk all attended. So did Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), political guru Karl Rove, House Speaker Paul Ryan, GOP Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), who recently made news by saying he “cannot support Donald Trump.”

From the outset the broadcast media have intentionally not mentioned the weak technical campaign strategy of Ohio Governor John Kasich.  The foundational reason for the lack of ground-work was simply that Kasich was never supposed to be a national GOPe candidate.

Just like Rubio in Florida, Pataki in Illinois, Gilmore and Fiorina in Virginia, Perry in Texas and Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, Kasich’s role was to block a momentum candidate by splitting the voting base in Ohio.  Each of these candidates had a role to play in the GOPe road map for Jeb Bush.

However, when Donald Trump overwhelmed the “splitter strategy“, and eventually when Bush was forced to drop out of the race, the GOPe road-map shifted from “splitting” to “blocking“.   John Kasich’s role shifting accordingly.  Unfortunately, Kasich is not on all the ballots where the GOPe need has shifted.  (more…)
