A Note To Those Suffering From “Battered Conservative Syndrome”…

Don’t get pulled into the weeds.  Don’t get caught up fretting over ridiculous issues which have no substantive bearing on the larger issues we face; and don’t forget the UniParty, both Democrats and Republicans, love to use “social issues” to keep you from noticing the treasury is empty.

patriotIt’s doesn’t matter if Mitt Romney does it, or if Debbie Wasserman Schultz does it, the goals of both are exactly the same – they try to obfuscate the argument to nonsense.

The last federal budget was signed into law on September 23rd 2007 by George W Bush, that was for fiscal year 2008.   There has been NO BUDGET ever since.  Democrats controlled the process in ’08, ’09 for fiscal years 2009, 2010.  The Republicans controlled the process in ’10, ’11, ’12, ’13, ’14, ’15, for fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016.

Neither party passed a budget.  The UniParty was go-along-get-along through continuing resolutions, raising of the debt ceiling, Stimulus I, Stimulus II, QE1, QE2, Omnibus 1 (’08), Porkulous (Dec ’09),  Omnibus II (’11), and Omnibus III (Dec ’15), leading to the eventual removal of the entire debt ceiling by Paul Ryan in December 2015.

Are you aware our Republican house and Senate no longer keep track of the national debt?   If not, why not?  Getting caught up on definitions of “torture” maybe. Or was it the confederate flag that made you stop paying attention. (more…)

Senator David Vitter Accidentally Introduces House Bill To Pay For Trump’s Border Wall….

The word “accidentally” has to be used in the headline because while Vitter’s bill doesn’t specifically mention the southern border security wall, the intent of the revenue is to provide border security measures.

trump border wall

As far as we can tell only our analysis of the potential Mexican remittance fees have outlined the very plausible way to pay for the Mexican border wall.  However, Louisiana Senator David Vitter has now presented a bill targeting the transfer of U.S. funds out of the country by illegal aliens.

Vitter has penned an Op-Ed in the Washington Times which includes two Governmental Accounting office reports – One HERE – and – Another HERE – which show the volume of removed revenue, remittances, as calculated/described by the GAO.

Representative Vitter explains his proposal thusly: (more…)

Michigan, Mississippi, Idaho, Hawaii – Turn Out “The Monster Vote”

Dear Mr. Trump,

I am writing you today because I, like most citizens of this nation, am sick and tired of the talking heads on TV working together to brainwash us into believing that you can’t win. They are fearful because they know you’ve got the people’s vote.

In 1996, I personally talked with over 40,000 people during the volunteer petition drive for Ross Perot, remember him? People told me they were so fed up and disgusted with our inept and corrupt politicians that they refuse to vote any more. Blue collar workers suffered the most because their jobs were either shipped overseas or across the Mexican border. These citizens of the United States are too angry to vote for anyone but you. I call this huge, untapped pool of defiant voters the MONSTER VOTE.

Ohio Republican Ballot Creating Confusion…

The Ohio Republican ballot for president is causing some confusion as outlined within this video:

Is the ballot intentionally confusing by design?

Given the previous discussions on State Party shenanigans, and the intent of state republican party leadership to hold complete influence over their delegate’s decision-making, many believe the answer is “probably”.

Ohio Poll: Donald Trump 38%, John Kasich 35%, Ted Cruz 15%…

Ohio is Governor John Kasich’s home state, and he should do very well there while he controls the Republican apparatus.  (full pdf below)

OHIO – […] The bottom has really fallen out on Marco Rubio’s image. For much of the year he’s been among the best liked of the Republican candidates, even if he wasn’t voters’ first choice. Now he’s the least popular candidate, with only 33% of voters seeing him favorable to 51% who have an unfavorable opinion. Even when you combine first and second choices Rubio’s still in a distant last place with 22% to 55% for Kasich, 46% for Trump, and 28% for Cruz.  (more…)

Under Fire – Candidate Donald Trump Hits Back In Florida – Campaign Commercial (video)…

Just about every political enterprise in the known universe is spending millions on negative attack ads against Donald Trump in Florida.  Some reports put the spending over $50,000,000 per week.

Approximately 14-18% of all broadcast commercials -depending on media market- are targeting Trump.  For perspective that’s approximately one-tenth the money spent by Mitt Romney in 2012 attacking Newt Gingrich – and that level alone was brutal.

Today candidate Donald Trump began to push back:

Florida Poll: Donald Trump 38%, Marco Rubio 30%, Ted Cruz 17%….

Caterpillars never-ever, ever-ever, wear brown boots.  That sensibility is about as useful as polling this time of year.  Just about every poll hitting the media airwaves has some sort of media-purchased agenda behind it.  Through the end of the primaries all of them should be taken with a grain of salt.

For today’s narrative Pollster Patrick Murray (he’s now infamous) puts his chicken on a string and submerges it beneath the media surface – SEE HERE.  The frenzy ensues.  (full pdf below):

Here’s the problem.  Patrick’s polling uses 83 registered “independent” voters amid a total poll of 403 respondents.  See the issue?
