We anticipate more than one thread will be needed for tonight’s election night results. It will be a late night for Oregon results (around 11:00pm)

Oregon and Kentucky (Dem Only) Vote Today

√ Hillary Wins Kentucky (Barely – very close)

√ Bernie Sanders Wins Oregon (53%).

√ Donald Trump wins Oregon (68%)

♦ On the Democrat side Kentucky is a must win for Hillary Clinton, she doesn’t stand a chance in Oregon. Sanders would continue his forward momentum with a victory tonight in Kentucky and Oregon. The stakes are high.
UPDATE 10:30pm:  Kentucky is super close.  However, Hillary Clinton sycophant Alison Lundergun Grimes (KY Secretary of State) actually went on live TV (via CNN) with 99% of the vote in [Clinton 46.7% to Sanders 46.3%] and declared Hillary Clinton the winner:
♦ The media is doing everything they can to take down Team Bernie tonight, but Bernie had a strong victory in Oregon.
♦ On the Republican side Donald Trump easily won Oregon.

A new PPP poll from Arizona (full pdf below) shows Senator John McCain is in a serious battle for the GOP primary.  Challenger Kelli Ward is currently tied with McCain at 41% and the majority of republican electorate have a negative view of McCain.

Some of the internal polling results might be surprising to readers and political followers, especially given the preferred media narratives bantered about by the insufferable MSM punditry.
Example:  Kelli Ward is more heavily supported by Men 46/40 over McCain.  Conversely Women support McCain 43/36 over Ward.  The complete opposite narrative from what national punditry will opine (gaslight) when discussing gender based voting. (more…)

Folks, Donald Trump is CRUSHING Hillary Clinton Nationally

A National NBC/Survey Monkey Poll (pollster Mark Murray) was released today showing Hillary Clinton barely ahead of Donald Trump 48%/45%.
However, what’s more stunning, actually, gobsmackingly and transparently stunning, is how heavily skewed the poll data was constructed in order to show Hillary Clinton with a three point lead.  The poll has a necessary D+7.2% favorability weight:

Beyond the necessary D +7 poll skew, in order to present a poll that retains Hillary Clinton in the lead NBC Pollster Mark Murray needed to exclude 4,725 poll respondents from a total sample size of 12,507 registered voters.
This level of statistical smoothing is huge folks.   You can find the full poll data including the methodology HERE.  However, even with that said there’s even more evidence of Hillary Clinton losing. (more…)

Given the current state of political dysfunction, coupled with U.S. federal finances, this 2013 epic rant from MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan can be viewed as an almost eerily prescient prediction for the candidacy of Donald Trump:

The preferred narrative is gaining increasing evidence. Those who gain benefit from leveraging a cultural shift of modern feminism are working earnestly to retain it.
The phrase:  “you cannot talk down to me because I’m a woman“, traditional -arguably appropriate- ERA feminism, demanded equality in opportunity.  However, that argument has now been dropped.
Modern feminism is leveraged: “you cannot criticize me, because I’m a woman“.
The traditional demands of equality are following a predictable pattern and now invoking leveraged benefit.
Ultimately, this is the modern version of feminism, and one currently being advanced by personalities like Fox News host Megyn Kelly.  Social justice memes demanding a higher position of consideration based on (fill_in_the_blank), where this specific blank is filled with gender.
The objective determinations of skill and competency are now being clouded by lowered expectations forced by the benefactors who gain by lowering the expectation.  It is a dangerous and slippery slope to bar critical evaluation based on lowered expectations due to gender.   Such well-intentioned pathways historically lead to soft-bigotry caused by lessened expectations.
However, if Hillary Clinton is to gain nation-wide elected office her incompetence and inability must be shielded.  This is the basic motive for a growing gender-based narrative as injected into the 2016 presidential race.   The latest attempts by the Washington Post and New York Times are ultimately evidence of this intention.

What do Glenn Beck, Carly Fiorina, S.E. Cupp, Dana Perino, Zac Moffett (Romney Campaign), and Arther Brooks have in common?

They are all avowed members of the Never Trump coalition.  And according to recent media reports, they are also the names scheduled to meet with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to discuss Facebook’s ideological censorship of political views.

[…] “I want to have a direct conversation about what Facebook stands for and how we can be sure our platform stays as open as possible,” Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post last week. “The reason I care so much about this is that it gets to the core of everything Facebook is and everything I want it to be.” (link)

Donald Trump was interviewed by Piers Morgan for his U.K news and morning talk show “Good Morning Britain”.   The primary topic was the conflict between London’s newly elected Muslim Mayor and Donald Trump…

It should come as no surprise to discover a recent New York Times article was written as a specifically intended and targeted hit piece against a candidate who is opposed to the liberal world-view preferred by the Times.  After all, the NYT is infamous for injecting their liberal ideological views into their publications, and even admissions by former editors of using the newspaper to target ideological opponents.
The most recent story outlining candidate Donald Trump was written to provide support for Hillary Clinton and to disparage the candidacy of Trump.   To show further evidence of this intention, the woman at the center of the NYT article, a former girlfriend of Mr. Trump, is stating today the Times article was fraught with lies and manipulations of her interview.
In her own words:

Against the backlash from Facebook being exposed for controlling content based on ideological views, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced he was going to meet with “conservative voices” to discuss their concerns.
Glenn Beck subsequently announced his participation in this upcoming meeting. –SEE HERE –
It’s all smoke and mirrors folks.  This PR ruse is about the most insufferable damage control amid years of behind-the-scenes political consultation is, well, silly.
The control of Facebook and other social media platforms to push political narratives is well documented, and extends far beyond non-traditional social media.  Matt Drudge was talking about it last year (see here).  And we’ve been following it since 2010.
Consider this picture:

Yes, that’s the leadership within the House of representatives in the spring of 2014 (Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy) meeting with Facebook’s CEO, Zuckerberg, and COO Sheryl Sandberg, to outline how Facebook could help the House of Representative pass comprehensive immigration reform by removing oppositional viewpoint from the social media feeds.

Donald Trump climbed to the top of the real estate world in the most ruthless, cut-throat, predatory and brutally competitive venues in the world, New York City.   Trump did not become the multi-billion-dollar successful deal-maker through naive decisions or suffering with fools – that’s not how success in that business venue works.
Eat, or be eaten.
Destroy, or be destroyed.
Outwit, or be outwitted.  These are the rules within an environment that makes chum out of lesser capable business interests.
Every entity, known and unknown, is a risk.  Every association, known and unknown, is viewed as an gnat or an adversary depending on the time of day.
Every single engagement is viewed through the prism of undetermined interest.  Ordinary type cynics do not survive; insider information is the traded commodity worth more than the deal itself.
Every relationship is based on leverage.   Nothing, absolutely nothing, is ever taken for granted. The threat matrix is omnidirectional and seriously overwhelming to all but those who have been taught to thrive amid the frenzy.  It is exhausting…
Need a hug, call your mother.
Need a friend, buy a dog.
