Earlier today CNN’s Chris Cuomo interviewed Corey Lewandowski (Trump) and Christine Quinn (Clinton) to get each campaigns perspective on current discussions of U.S. foreign policy and military use (video after background).
Notice how no-one, unfortunately even Lewandowski, references President Obama specifically selecting General John Allen in 2014 to lead the White House coordinated campaign against ISIS.

Flashback Sept 11th 2014 – U.S. officials told the Associated Press on Thursday that retired Marine Lieutenant General John Allen will coordinate the broad international effort to battle the self-declared Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), as nations begin to determine what part they will play.

The appointing of General Allen specifically followed an alarming admission by President Obama himself, on August 28th 2014, that the White House had no strategy to defeat ISIS. Watch this to refresh:

The key aspect to Julian Assange’s interview with Sean Hannity last night was Assange reminding everyone of the original WikiLeaks Cable scandal in 2010, and also pointing out that Hillary Clinton was the originating official of cables marked (c) “classified”.

Hillary Clinton authored the content of the cables (as described); and she herself has originating autonomy to designate material as “classified” or “confidential”.  Assange is essentially reminding everyone that Secretary Clinton assigned that designation personally.
It is ridiculous for Secretary Clinton to state she doesn’t know what the “(c)” designation is, she used it herself.

“Electronic Soup Cards”

That term, “electronic soup cards“, is simply brilliant.  It is powerfully brilliant because it is entirely correct.
As a person who searches for simple word assemblies to covey significant issues, I must admit that concise terminology is the best turn of words I’ve heard in years.

Factually, if the number of American people on EBT or SNAP welfare benefits had to line up for soup and meals (instead of just get money on an electronic card for use anywhere), there would be massive lines, miles-long lines, all day and all night in hundreds of thousands of soup kitchens nation-wide.   Such visibility would make the soup lines of the great depression seem insignificant by comparison.
The EBT and SNAP cards are exactly that, “Electronic Soup Cards”.

Well that didn’t take long.  After barely making it through a speech yesterday in Ohio, and another exhaustive bout on a plane resulting in a dropped interview, today Hillary Clinton tries to talk to “The Breakfast Club” a radio show.

This has been an ongoing issue for over a year. This is obviously not allergies (her prior excuse).

The media polls seem to be moving in a positive direction for Donald Trump, but that’s not the whole story.  What’s really going on is the media smoothing out the methodology and assumptions while trying to remain relevant. Nothing more.  Polls don’t swing 15+/- points every few weeks…. it just doesn’t happen.
As we have outlined for years, all “media polling” is fraught with the same ideological bias inherent in the publication and broadcasting of those media entities presenting their interpretation of their constructs. Nothing more.
Consider this visible contrast.  The Tampa/St.Petersburg area is home to over 2 million Florida residents (largest metropolitan area on the West Coast of Florida).
Here is Hillary Clinton’s rally today in Tampa Florida, which was specifically held on USF campus because the venue ensured a captive student populous:


(Top two are venue as set up, and as supporters arrived) To be fair to candidate Hillary Clinton here’s the best picture we can find of the event capacity while she was speaking: (more…)

Many people watched the subtle ridicule that Jimmey Kimmel necessary injected into his Trump interviews in order to maintain favor with the liberal pop culture crowd.
However, someone has mirrored the Kimmel interview technique, and juxtaposed Hillary Clinton.   Enjoy:

Life Imitates Agitprop

Some people might have thought this image was an unfair representation of the U.S. media writ large, and how they support/defend Hillary Clinton:

It wasn’t.

Check out the image from today: (more…)

After taking a month off the campaign trail to care for her tenuous health condition, Hillary Clinton attempted to deliver a speech today in Cleveland Ohio, and she could barely make it through…. the coughing returned, again… and it’s getting worse.  Watch:

And it didn’t get any better on the plane, see below:

CNN Video of Hillary Clinton doing the customary random visit with the press for distribution optics…  blah, blah, blah.    Yada, yada, yada…
However, it’s important to notice the awkward vibe;  that screaming discomfort you feel amid particular situations which speak to the abject lack of authenticity.   The ability to make the room uncomfortable is what Hillary Clinton has in common with Ted Cruz.

You’ll never note that awkwardness with Donald Trump. He’s comfortable in his own skin even in situations that are totally foreign and unfamiliar, and multiple people consistently speak of his ability to make the audience -large or small- feel at ease.
It is a character trait of all natural leaders and persons of influence.  It’s also an important factor in a presidential election because these senses transmit in video.

Apparently candidate Hillary Clinton is going to start campaigning for the presidency.   She begins today in Ohio, and that brings up an odd little factoid….

Today is the first time Hillary Clinton has seen her running mate Tim Kaine since July….

The post bus tour noted was the one in Pennsylvania and Ohio immediately following the Democrat Convention.  The bus tour was July 29th, 30th and finished on July 31st at a Cleveland Ohio AME church event.. (more…)
