….it’s impossible to go back to a time when you didn’t notice them:

Whose jet? 

Every other headline will read: Gowdy supports Rubio, but the reality is more apropos when considering that Gowdy doesn’t support Ted Cruz.

This endorsement “event” should not come as a surprise to long-time readers, simply go back to the 2014 pre-mid-term assignment by Speaker Boehner of Represenative Gowdy as chairperson for the Benghazi committee, read the reams of cautionary discussion, and you’ll find the origin of this latest development.

We shall refrain from the I-told-you-so’s, instead relying more succinctly on the ‘watch what they do, not what they say’ constructs (insert picture of Mark O’Mara here if needed).

One of Donald Trump’s greatest benefits in a general election match-up is oddly one of our own greatest long-term antagonisms:  the generational, and insufferable, weakness of Republicans.

For approximately 30 years the GOP has been in full retreat from an onslaught of progressive liberalism.  Arguably retreat began picking up speed around the time of the Regan-era Iran-Contra scandal, which was unfortunately compounded by a New Jersey RNC lawsuit loss and subsequent life-time Consent Decree.

Regardless of origin, the general republican party has been comprised of spineless twits for the past 3+ decades.

However, setting aside the DNC and RNC -for all intents and purposes having melded into one nuanced UniParty- as a direct consequence of the GOP weakness, the Democrat Party have become accustomed to their opposition being weak and ineffective.  The Republicans are notoriously infected with a defensive flinching more customarily seen amid those with battered spouse syndrome.

Catching up on some recent punditry – interesting conversation:

Many people have discussed the risks of putting all your viable candidacy eggs in the evangelical basket. An article via CNN outlines a group of Super-PACs and donor interests who are now setting Ted Cruz in the cross hairs.

This CNN article highlights one of the biggest challenges for any candidate who is unable to build a broad and diverse base of support. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee are all relying heavily on Iowa voters. Similarly, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich, and again, Marco Rubio (firewall) are dependent on success with New Hampshire voters.

Meanwhile the breakaway frontrunner, Donald Trump, targets America-first voters, the biggest, strongest and most broad base of them all.

Washington (CNN) – Ted Cruz, staring at hundreds of thousands of dollars in negative advertisements against him in Iowa that show only signs of growing, is battling to keep pace there with his most aggressive push yet to maintain his momentum in the Hawkeye State. (more…)

A recent article in the Washington Post about “raids to deport illegal alien families” seeks to create a political narrative, perhaps even a Trump-effect as the story line. However, it’s not a matter of Trump – or even federal judge Andrew Hannen – the affect is rule of law.

[…]  The ICE operation would target only adults and children who have already been ordered removed from the United States by an immigration judge, according to officials familiar with the undertaking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because planning is ongoing and the operation has not been given final approval by DHS. The adults and children would be detained wherever they can be found and immediately deported. The number targeted is expected to be in the hundreds and possibly greater. (link)

Almost everything following that paragraph above -in the severely slanted Washington Post outline- is factually false, presented entirely with left-wing ideological underpinnings.

Despite the ineptitude and abject stupidity of the current congress, led by amnesty-aligned Republicans, there is a pesky problem for DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson regarding border enforcement and deportation – that pesky problem is actual law needing to be enforced. (more…)

This random supporter video is nicely put together:

It’s been fully revealed now that Ted Cruz is spending millions on psychological campaigning.  Including the use of: “psychographic” analyses of voters to try to win them over with narrowly targeted micro-messages”, funded by Robert Mercer and Breitbart.Com

However, recently, and entirely accidentally, a brilliant reverse operation has begun to deconstruct the “Crass Vulgarian Trump” narrative.  The inherent subliminal messaging conveyed in this video is, well, brilliant:

None of the words are changed, yet many observers note how their impression of the content instantaneously changes. (more…)

“I owe nothing to anybody. The only one I owe is to the American people. I’m going to do a great job for them.”

~ Donald J. Trump

Oh noes, the MSM is shape-shifting, catching on, finding the trail, waking up, honing in….  It Appears they’ve dug up the change in the cushions, borrowed $250, bought a vowel, now they have a clue. Yikes...

This entirely sucks, because it could mean it’s only a matter of time before they tell the pundits.    …Snap! 

Then all heck will break loose when they realize what we’ve been up to for the past seven months.  Um, hey chief, chief, CHIEF,.. I mean, Donald, um,… Mr. Trump… it might be time to readjust that game-plan thing, they’re on to us!  I knew the “schlong” thing was a risk… On noes, damn, damn, damn…  Quick – get Bluto and Jello, STAT.

(Via LA Times) Louise Sunshine, a former New York lobbyist and real estate executive, has known Donald Trump for more than 40 years. She shared a small office with Trump just as his career as a developer began to take off. She helped him cajole politicians for tax breaks on his first buildings. (more…)
