Candidate Donald Trump recorded a video that was played at the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference:
Press Release – Branson, MO: Today at the Missouri Republican State Convention in Branson, Phyllis Schlafly, founder and chairman of Eagle Forum, was elected as a national delegate to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio. Phyllis has participated in every convention since 1952.
“Politics is where the action is and the Republican Party is where we can make a difference. I am proud to be a Republican and attend our Conventions,” Schlafly said. “I look forward to joining other conservatives in Cleveland to pass our solid, conservative platform that includes a strong defense of the unborn, traditional marriage, and the American military superiority that has given us ‘peace through strength.’
“I hope that my fellow delegates, especially those being elected to the Platform Committee, will read my new book released this week called How the Republican Party Became Pro-Life. I detail our fight to change the Republican Platform and turn the GOP away from it’s pro-abortion days under Nixon. (more…)
The entire U.S. corrupt political apparatus relies on an electorate with a short-term memory and unwillingness to research source material to discover their motives.
The Ted Cruz Super-PAC “Trusted Leadership” became the primary financial vehicle for contributions to Senator Ted Cruz. The Cruz financial structure became somewhat controversial because Cruz campaign officials were caught on tape instructing high dollar donors to skip campaign finance limits by sending large dollar donations to Trusted Leadership.
Now Consider This:
- Saturday April 2nd 2016 – National Right To Life PAC Endorses candidate Senator Ted Cruz.
- Tuesday April 5th 2016 – Wisconsin Presidential Primary (Cruz Wins)
- Friday April 22nd 2016 – Ted Cruz Super PAC “Trusted Leadership” pays National Right To Life PAC $125,000
Gabriel Sherman writes a column for the New York Magazine about the fallout to the terrible ratings from Megyn Kelly’s broadcast special premier, and how she has damaged her contract negotiating position with a poor result.
Sherman is a good read for some facts surrounding Fox News Insider stuff, but his analysis generally misses the mark because he’s inside the liberal NYC bubble; this article is no exception. Example: Sherman asserts that Rupert Murdoch is now supportive of Donald Trump… um, NO – that’s laughable.
Rupert “Open Borders” Murdoch who has spent millions supporting immigration reform, who has used his network to sell Jeb Bush/Marco Rubio, who held meetings with executives, politicians and pundits to ensure pro-immigration reform content, is NOT a supporter of Donald Trump….
[*Hint* Read Sherman for facts and events, but disregard analysis].

National Rifle Association leadership called for unity around Donald Trump today following a contentious primary race.
(Via ABC News) The National Rifle Association has endorsed Donald Trump for president at today’s convention. Chris Cox, the executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, made the endorsement immediately before Trump walked on stage.
“Now is the time to unite. If your preferred candidate dropped out of the race, it’s time to get over it,” Cox said earlier in his remarks.
The news of the endorsement came shortly before Trump addressed the group at their convention in Kentucky. Trump talked about “crooked Hillary” and said that Clinton is “anti-gun,” claiming that she plans to take away guns if she is elected. He also spoke about how situations like the mass shooting in San Bernardino could be avoided if more people had guns. (more…)
