Actually what Rep. Walorski is really doing is outlining exactly why the GOP is ridiculously represented by weak and ineffective leadership like John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.

How much more value would it be for conservatives to have actual, and tolerable, leadership who could engage the media -without looking like pompous jackasses- and outline the real obstructionism?    

Heck, even the most partisan of GOP supporters would admit the ability of Boehner and McConnell to frame a discussion without sounding like they just drank a fifth of scotch with a mouth full of marbles is non-existent.   The problem is not the conservative message, it’s the ineptitude of the messenger. 

(WASHINGTON DC)  –  While the president pounds his fist and proclaims he’s “madder than hell” over the Veterans Affairs scandal and then just asks for more time to review and investigate, House Republicans are getting pretty tired of the do-nothing Senate and a president who claims to only learn about problems in his administration on cable news.

Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., sits on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee in the House and she told [Larry O’Connor] Wednesday on WMAL radio in Washington, D.C., that the House has passed a dozen bills for reform of the VA and they are collecting dust on [Sen.] Harry Reid’s desk: (more…)

Sticky Post Until Election Results Come In

Kentucky candidate Matt Bevin and family

Our Father who art in heaven; please put roadblocks in the path of McConnell supporters.  Turtles slowly crossing the road will do just nicely – with a smidgen of irony not withstanding.   Through You all things are possible.

Please allow a sense of righteous motivation, protection and positive energy to flow mysteriously through the hearts of the patriots who boldly walk affirmed to save our republic and vote for Matt Bevin.   Deliver the righteous to the polls with quick dispatch, as we remember it is quite possible for David to slay Goliath.

It was the Tennessean and Kentuckian long rifle militia who eventually turned the tide of the revolutionary war in favor of the republic.   We pray for that same committed spirit today.   In your name  – AMEN

Lyndon Johnson?   Seriously ? ….   That a “conservative” would even think to espouse such advocacy should send chills down the spine of anyone who would self identify behind conservative principles. 

(TEXAS – Via Miami Herald) Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said he would strive to be like Lyndon Johnson, the Democrat famous for expanding the U.S. welfare state through the “Great Society,” if he were elected president.

According to the Miami Herald, Bush made those comments Wednesday night in San Antonio, Florida at Saint Leo University, while speaking about education, immigration, and energy policy. (more…)

On May 20th the GOP primary election in Kentucky takes place. On May 21st the schedule for the legislative session will be written. Each is dependent on the other.

If Mitch McConnell wins, you can write off your opposition to Common Core, Amnesty, Immigration Reform, Minimum Wage Increase, and the hope of ever seeing any part of ObamaCare stopped, adjusted or repealed.

[Remember, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce wants Amnesty, ObamaCare and Common Core federal standards for education.  What ever the Chamber of Commerce wants, the establishment Republicans will deliver.   The CoC also wants expansion of Medicaid enrollment and eligibility so their business units healthcare costs can be shifted to U.S. Taxpayers. Indiana’s Mike Pence is the latest to acquiesce to the Chamber pressure today.]

In addition to the legislation, Jeb Bush or a similarly minded “establishment candidate” (circa 2008, 2012) will be the 2016 GOP nominee regardless of opposition or opinion from the conservative base.

Conversely if Mitch McConnell loses, none of the above will be initiated, and the GOP field is wide open for a Scott Walker, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz or similar.

It all will be decided FOUR DAYS from now.

Those of you who have followed this website for more than a few weeks will know the strength of our resolve in that regard.   It is not a debatable prediction – it simply is what it is.

We have outlined every single dot preceding this moment for the past two years.  Every single dot leads to the next in a logical sequence; and eventually they all assemble and paint a specific part of the political prediction picture.

Unfortunately, not a single one so far has been wrong – and it is with the greatest of confidence we can outline not an assurance, but an absolute certainty.   If McConnell wins next week, it’s over – we can give them back the Senate, but nothing will change.

From Wikipedia:

Gaslighting is a form of mental abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory, perception, and sanity. Instances may range simply from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.

The term “gaslighting” comes from the play Gas Light and its film adaptations. The term is now also used in clinical and research literature.

On that note, here is Bill Whittle’s latest FIREWALL:

The Kentucky primary race is a week away.   Matt Bevin vs. Mitch McConnell

(Via Politico)  James Murdoch and News Corp’s PAC have both made donations to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s reelection campaign, according to his most recent campaign filing report.

Murdoch, son of News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch, donated $2,600 to McConnell’s primary and $2,400 to his general election fund. According to the report, he’s donated $5,000 to both funds in this election cycle to date.

The younger Murdoch, who is currently deputy COO of 21st Century Fox, was long seen as the heir apparent of News Corp until he fell out of favor after the 2011 News of the World phone-hacking scandal in Britain. Lachlan Murdoch, James’ older brother, was named to top spots on the boards of News Corp and 21st Century Fox in March, suggesting that he is in line to take over the media giant.

News Corp PAC also gave $5,000 to McConnell’s general election fund, according to the filing. (more…)

Despite what you see in the apologetic leftist media, including Politico), Sasse was constantly under attack from the establishment arm (McConnell and Rove) of the Republican Party.   This is a big win for conservative principles and a big loss for Mitch McConnell.

(Via Politico)  Sasse, the former Bush administration official, received about 49 percent of the vote, according to an Associated Press vote tally with roughly two-thirds of precincts reporting. Omaha banker Sid Dinsdale, who had picked up last-minute momentum, received 23 percent of the vote and former state treasurer Shane Osborn received 21 percent.

[…]  Sasse also had endorsements from Sen. Ted Cruz and former Gov. Sarah Palin, both of whom attended a rally with him last month. (more…)

 […]  Now Rep. Jeff Miller, the chairman, House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, is questioning why if the VA learned there were problems in December, the agency is only taking action now. He said Shinseki’s actions are “faux outrage at its finest.”

The June [2012] email signed by an employee named David Newman, a Telehealth coordinator at the Cheyenne center, describes to the workers methods they can use to manipulate records in the patient appointment system to comply with a VA policy that requires patients be seen within 14 days of their desired date of appointment.

“Yes, it is gaming the system a bit,” the email reads. “But you have to know the rules of the game you are playing, and when we exceed the 14-day measure, the front office gets very upset.”

Shinseki said in a statement that after he learned of the email on Friday, he ordered the employee who wrote it placed on administrative leave. He said he also ordered the VA’s independent inspector general to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.

(Via NRO)   Republicans like Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, Grover Norquist, et al. who insist that the House GOP pass Chuck Schumer’s amnesty bill are saying that Obama can be trusted to enforce whatever new immigration laws we come up with.

As if there weren’t already abundant evidence of the absurdity of such trust, a Buzzfeed story adds to the pile.

The story is about disagreement between Schumer and the White House over plans to water down enforcement even more. The less-sophisticated among the anti-borders Left are demanding that the ongoing review of deportation policy, designed to make it more “humane,” result in dramatic new curbs on the removal of illegal aliens or, even better, de facto amnesty for all illegals along the lines of Obama’s illegal DREAM Act–style DACA amnesty.

Previously the Metro Police said they were going to open investigations into the militia members who rallied to aid Cliven Bundy.    Now, it appears the FBI is opening an investigation to identify the same….  

Consider it the “No Cry” list !   A list of patriots who refused to back down.

NEVADA – Clark County sheriff’s officials say they’ve been interviewed by the FBI as part of an investigation into armed supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy.

Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo told KLAS-TV that federal agents have opened an investigation into the conduct of supporters of Bundy who reportedly pointed guns at officers during a standoff at his ranch April 12. (more…)
