After it was announced that Speaker John Boehner was retiring, conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin said don’t elect Kevin McCarthy to the speakership because McCarthy is just like Eric Cantor except 10 IQ points lower. Last night McCarthy proved Levin was correct.
Kevin McCarthy appears on Sean Hannity show and gives the Democrats defending Hillary Clinton an atomic sledgehammer to wield against Trey Gowdy and the Senate Select Committee on Benghazi. Listen (video prompted to 4:04):

Essentially what McCarthy is saying, when viewed from the perspective of how the Democrat political punditry will use it, is that the Gowdy committee is only in place to damage candidate Hillary Clinton politically.
Is it any wonder why today reports from inside the beltway who opine that Trey Gowdy is ready to hang it up? Seriously. (more…)
It was obvious early this morning that something was up. There was a tremor amid the Dark Force as Team Clinton came out with an announcement that she would support a change to ObamaCare that would kill the Cadillac tax on union healthcare plans.
Obviously Hillary Clinton is trying to shore up support from various labor unions who are increasingly finding the Democrat positions at odds with middle America.
The decision by Hillary Clinton NOT TO support the Keystone Pipeline was a serious strike against her. The decision to support the anti-American Trans-Pacific Trade deal was obviously additional blow. In an effort to recover credibility Hillary Clinton is now stating she opposes the Cadillac Tax on union healthcare benefits. However, it might be too little, too late. (more…)
WASHINGTON DC – Vice President Biden has already qualified for next month’s CNN debate, the network confirmed Monday. Now all he has to do is jump in the race.
CNN confirmed that any candidate who has averaged 1 percent in at least three credible polls would be able to participate in the debate. Since most recent polls have tested Biden and found he would have double-digit support, he meets the threshold easily.
With that main hurdle past, Biden wouldn’t even have to file official paperwork by the debate — the criteria says that a simple public declaration will suffice. (more…)
When Chuck Todd questioned Hillary Clinton today about her pandering to the audience based on poll-tested political expediency, she remarked as follows:
Even with an ankle monitor the DNC will insure her election !
An NBC/WSJ Poll was released today. Within the article NBC is caught “red handed” manipulating the results to favor a preferred narrative. The polled result is so blatantly opposite of the conclusions presented there can only be one reason, intentional bias.
Here is the way NBC presented the data on the Democrat side:
NBC […] In the Democratic race, Hillary Clinton is the first choice of 42 percent of primary voters, Sanders is in second at 35 percent and Joe Biden third at 17 percent. No other Democrat gets more than 1 percent.
When Biden – who is still mulling a campaign – is removed from the field, Clinton’s lead over Sanders grows to 15 points, 53 percent to 38 percent, which suggests that Biden’s entry would hurt Clinton more than Sanders. (link)
Do you spot the transparent lie? (more…)
There are a few different versions of various Clinton email scandals surfacing today within the Friday news dump.
Here’s the first:
(Via Reuters) The U.S. Defense Department has found an email chain that Hillary Clinton did not give to the State Department, the State Department said on Friday, despite her saying she had provided all work emails from her time as secretary of state.
The correspondence with General David Petraeus, who was commander of U.S. Central Command at the time, started shortly before she entered office and continued during her first days as the top U.S. diplomat in January and February of 2009.
The Defense Department provided the emails to the State Department in “the last several days,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement. (more…)
We suspected, heck, anyone could see it was brutally obvious, that CNN was running cover to protect the optics of Bernie Sanders getting a same venue audience last weekend TEN TIMES greater than Hillary Clinton.
Both Clinton and Sanders held events two days apart -last weekend- at the campus of The University of New Hampshire. Clinton had 300 attendees, Sanders had 3,000.
First thing Monday Morning (6am 9/21/15) CNN blasts out a poll showing Clinton leading Sanders 42 to 24.
Clinton's lead in Democratic race grows, CNN/ORC poll shows. If Biden stays out of race, her numbers would rise more. http://t.co/3SO5rPyuG2

“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:
Just sticking with raw data, and trying to avoid injecting opinion, now consider this: (more…)
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.

“Operation Hummingbird” an identifier given (by me) to describe a very strategic approach of Karl Rove in getting Jeb Bush the republican nomination. “Hummingbird” describes a very a specific strategy to overcome a hurdle currently blocking Rove’s path, Donald Trump. Often it is easier to use a descriptive term, rather than spend 300 words having to re-explain a strategy as it expands and becomes increasingly visible over time.
Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch wants the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal approved. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is constructing the trade deal. TPTA controls 40% of global manufacturing. Murdoch is Mr. Wall Street. Murdoch is supporting Bush to get his deal.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Lobbying Efforts 2015:
- Maintain Obamacare without repeal or adjustment.
- Promotion of federal Common Core education standards.
- Comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty.
- Trans-Pacific Trade Deal Approval.
Both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush support these legislative priorities. They, along with Mitch McConnell et al, have been lobbied (campaigns paid) to support them. Failure is not an option. The game has been rigged. Wall Street will not be denied. Period.
The ultimate RNC/GOPe goal is to get Jeb Bush on one side of the primary equation, and then see the DNC get Hillary Clinton on the other side. Together they represent a Win/Win for Wall Street regardless of general election outcome.
This is the goal; this is the only goal; this goal will never be abandoned. They will never stop working to deliver this goal. Trillions are at stake. Jeb Bush is the only acceptable RNC/GOPe candidate; that’s why Jeb doesn’t even have to work hard – the outcome is pre-ordained, decided, done. Jeb Bush will never be abandoned. Period. (more…)
