The full interview between Fox News Bill O’Reilly and Donald Trump discussing James Comey’s decision not to indict Hillary Clinton:

Candidate Donald Trump  is holding a rally tonight in Raleigh, NC at the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts – Raleigh Memorial Auditorium.  Live coverage of the event will begin at approx. 6:30pm Eastern:

We have avoided much of the debate and curiosity behind who will Donald Trump pick as a Vice-President candidate. In essence, for us -Big Picture- it just doesn’t matter that much; and regardless of the various pro and con checklists, we’re confident Mr. Trump will select the best candidate he views as most necessary for the ‘America First’ objective at hand.
However, that said, today perhaps some mental sorbet might cleanse an emotionally charged pallet. So we present our guess for a VP candidate.
Remember, it’s a guess, just a guess, and our guess carries no more independent weight or validity than any other voice who would also have their own guess.
If we were going to go personal, with the heart and head guess, someone like Senator Jeff Sessions would probably be high on our swoon list.
But CTH doesn’t just look at things as we want them to be, we look at things as they are  and as they present themselves to be.  That approach necessitates disengaging emotion, personal preferences, and applying a more comprehensive review of all possible angles.
When reviewing the possibilities we need to look carefully at factual behavior; known and identified action in the past year, and consider more than our own selfish litmus test.
We also need to consider altruistic voices that Donald Trump has a history of listening to (ie. trusting).  Altruism is a scarce commodity in the world of national politics.  As a consequence, those who exhibit it (and have an opinion) gain an exponential weighting factor for possible influence on the selection.

Cold Anger perceives deception the way a long-term battered spouse absorbs the blows in the hours prior to the pre-planned exit; with purpose.  Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. Cold Anger absorbs betrayal silently, often prudently. Cold Anger is not hatred, it is far more purposeful….

(Via Facebook) Ironic, tragic, but not unexpected – amidst America’s Independence Day celebrations the Ruling Class put another boot on our neck to snuff liberty’s life out of We the People.
It’s a farce that “no one is above the law” and my heart goes out to all who’ve been unjustly accused and destroyed over much lesser crimes than Hillary’s.
We MUST redouble efforts to restore the rule of law that had sustained the most exceptional nation on earth, with everyone doing their part:

Remember all of the media coverage about a bakery refusing to cater a Gay Wedding Cake. The national headlines, lawsuits, 24/7 stories of intolerance etc?  Well, as you review this recent story (happened yesterday) think about how tolerance is defined and applied.
A young man in San Francisco went into a local T-Shirt Shop, Bang-On T-Shirts LLC, to purchase a custom Trump Tee. The retail company staff made the shirt, but added a rather inappropriate surprise the customer discovered when he arrived home.

The website Regated has the full story – Including an Interview – which describes the entire incident:

A younger Trump supporter walked into the ‘Bang  On T-Shirts’ store in San Francisco earlier today to get a custom-embroidered shirt.
Although getting dirty looks and a few snide questions when explaining the logo of the shirt, it came out fine — however, after returning to his hotel, he noticed a big problem.

There are times when people state our optimism in the 2016 presidential election is missing the required amount of caution or concern.  However, what many of those voices don’t realize is the research-based reasoning for our outlook.
If you tune out the media noise, look around and pay close attention, you can see the groundwork for an epic landslide everywhere.

The historical playbook of the oppositional left (for sake of expediency Democrats) has always been to carve the larger electorate into smaller, more manageable, sub categories they call “interest groups”.  Those groups are then micro-targeted with campaign messaging tailored to their self-interest; and historically they have been successful.
The traditional method to countering this approach (pushed by a set of political consultants who genuinely think they understand, but factually are wrong) has been to apply the same strategic targeting -campaign message- back upon the carved out, by tailoring a counter ideological message to their needs.

Very salty language, but the points made are insanely accurate.
With the context of the last twelve months of sunlight upon a political process as a backdrop, this George Carlin segment is essentially the USA version of the Brexit argument.

[Transcript]  “There’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got.

Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the REAL owners, now. The REAL owners, the BIG WEALTHY business interests that control things and make all the important decisions — forget the politicians.

There are many people who don’t support July 4th, America’s birthday.  They simply hate everything this nation stands for and they don’t believe in an exceptional America.  As a consequence, for them, July 4th represents everything they despise.
There was a time when those voices were few and far between; we used to call them the radical left or the far left.  Unfortunately, with the growth of the political left, and the growth of the institutional leftist constructs pushing out the center-left, the anti-American sentiment is now the populous sentiment within the largest elements of the Democrat party.
It’s now generally accurate to say Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders supportive camps are within the grouping who hate America; at least by the same scope they hate religion, any references to Christianity, the U.S. flag and the U.S. military writ large.
A gradual erosion of pride has given way to a daily onslaught.  It’s has only taken about a generation of anti-Americanism to infect large parts -perhaps most parts- of the Millennial generation; although the initial advocates still attempt to cloud their hatred under the auspices of various social justice endeavors.  (more…)

Before watching this video it’s important to note something.  Brianna Keilar is filling in for Jake Tapper on State of the Union.  CNN’s Brianna Keiler was previously on assignment as an embed reporter with the Hillary Clinton campaign during the campaign.
Notice how no other network shifts an embed “reporter” into a position of punditry other than CNN. Jake Tapper used to work for Chelsea Cinton’s mother-in-law.  If you have followed their “reporting” you’ll note both Tapper and Keilar are the primary “journ-o-list” advocates for Hillary Clinton on the network:
