A few days ago Bloomberg published a poll of 2,001 registered voters containing a sub-set of 945 voters considered “investors” in the financial markets (full pdf below).
From those voters who are also financial investors the results showed a 50% favorability for Donald Trump, and a 33% favorability for Hillary Clinton.  Not only do voters trust Trump more with their personal and family safety, they also trust Donald Trump more with their personal and family finances:

(Bloomberg)  More voters with a stake in the stock market say Donald Trump would be better as president for their portfolios than Hillary Clinton, with about one in four saying they’ll alter their asset mix if the Republican is elected and a similar share saying they’d do so if the Democrat wins.
A Bloomberg/Morning Consult national poll on investment, tax and economic issues shows voters with money in the market pick Trump over Clinton, 50 percent to 33 percent, as the person they think will be better for their portfolio. Those with more than $50,000 invested answer the question almost identically as smaller investors.

To say the last 24 hours have been historic could most certainly be an understatement.  However, we can be certain a wounded global media will put every possible liberal, progressive, multicultural and socialist voice onto television and into print to push back against the visible rise of a growing nationalist sentiment.

What has happened with the U.K. referendum is going to send reverberations around the globe; but this outcome should not come as a complete surprise to most CTH readers. What happened in Great Britain is the visible rise of their national Monster Vote.
People from across political parties, conservative (Tory) and democrat (Labour), joined together to unite against the institutional political systems (EU) who construct the rules of their lives without the consent of the governed.  (more…)

Ask yourself why anyone would vote for a candidate who announces his/her U.S. Senate reelection bid and in the same breath refuses to say they intend to fulfill the 6-year term such a reelection requires.
Then ask yourself why would any candidate run for a political office while simultaneously refusing to commit to the term they are campaigning for.
Those two questions simply begin the discussion now that Florida Senator Marco Rubio has stated he has reversed position and intends to run for reelection.
What’s ultimately behind this decision is an intentional construct of the Wall Street legislative priority constructionists (GOPe leadership) to create a dynamic of controlled failure.

Donald Trump appeared on Fox Business News with Lou Dobbs tonight to discuss the presidential campaign and the current state of the race.

House Speaker Paul ‘Omnibus‘ Ryan is quoted in a Huffington Post interview as threatening to sue President Trump if he attempted to initiate his proposed halt on Muslim immigration:

“I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers,” Ryan said in a back-and-forth about Trump’s claims that he could implement a Muslim ban or build a Mexican border wall without congressional approval.

Ryan said he wasn’t sure of the “legal question” of whether Trump could institute a Muslim ban on his own as president. (more)

“I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers”, Ryan says.  That’s rather strange, because there’s a disconnect.  When President Obama declared his November 2014 “executive action on amnesty” or DAPA, neither Paul Ryan nor any other body of congressional authority attempted to sue the president.

It does not matter whether the Anti-Trumpist of the day emanates from Washington DC (congress), from media (punditry), or from the special interest groups doing the bidding of Wall Street (US CoC), the ultimate thread which connects them all is money. Lots, and lots, of money. These are financial interests.
Not meaning to be so simplistic, but it’s always about the money. Behind every globalist word, behind every globalist ideology, behind the convenient use of pop culture – you find the motives of power interests all circle around money.
Corporate media does an effective job promoting opinion that serves their interests. Admitting this is not cynicism, it is our reality. Controversies are used as tools, simply intended to sway opinion and applied when needed to serve those interests.
That is what they do.  That’s what this is.  That’s all this is.
Think about the current pearl clutching class of DC congress critters, in conjunction with the recently rolled out Mitt Romney approach, aghast with what they call Trump’s racism; or more recently with Romney’s new talking point: “trickle down racism“…
Contrast the accusation against the reality of the GOPe behavior in the Mississippi 2014 primary where race was specifically used BY THEM to retain Thad Cochran’s seat in the Senate.  Was mittens concerned about McConnell’s use of race to advance the GOPe objectives?
Nah, not so much.  Funny that.

Yesterday House Speaker Paul Ryan pushed through a Puerto Rico Rescue bill called PROMESA.  The details of the bill are fundamentally challenging to understand in scope, however, the key aspect to remember is the underlying benefactor(s) – Wall Street.
While Ryan is severely adverse to PROMESA being called a bailout, that’s exactly what it is – only worse.  The plan structurally changes the dynamics of how State debt is repaid, and the considerations for bondholders under the 5th amendment (seizure of private property w/out compensation); which will lead to a guaranteed bondholder bailout.
However, beyond the ‘bailout’ aspect there is a framework to override state legislative authority and use unelected “control board” appointed by congress to subvert citizen voices and make independent decisions.

As you read this press release from David Brat consider the how such legislative usurpation could possibly be considered “conservative“.

DAVID BRAT:  Yesterday members of Congress voted in favor of PROMESA, a bill that imposes a control board on Puerto Rico. I opposed this bill, and in an op-ed in the Washington Examiner, I explained why.

“The PROMESA Act creates an unelected, unaccountable ‘control board’ imposed by Congress to manage Puerto Rico’s spending and tax policies for at least five years. Control boards and five-year plans, channeling Stalin: what could go wrong?

The media using the Trump University controversy to avoid discussing the discontent and disenfranchisement within the final democrat primary races today.  However, the GOPe Mitch McConnell/Paul Ryan motives are less visible; so we shall discuss.

It is important to remember the nomination of Donald Trump is an existential threat to the Uniparty apparatus within DC.  In general terms Trump is opposed by both of the power structures, Democrats and Republicans, who are charged with carrying out the legislative agenda provided by Wall Street and the financial class.
More specifically, the GOPe leadership of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were always going to be in opposition to Donald Trump.  The entire architecture of the republican presidential race was structurally intended to advance the ‘establishment’ candidacy of next-in-line Jeb.  This was the grand design since October of 2014, including every player within the presidential race, which we previously outlined in great detail.
As we presented mid-2015, if Trump bested their globalist/Wall St efforts -which seemed almost insurmountable at the time-  the GOPe would have no reasonable alternative other than to support the alternate side of the UniParty coin, Hillary Clinton.
However, supporting Clinton is ideologically favorable but optically challenging.  Everything would have to be carefully constructed to avoid the appearance of their support. (more…)

The scope of those suffering from Battered Conservative Syndrome no longer surprises those who have followed the past 15 years of GOP politics steeped in cultural Marxism.
Say something, anything, adversarial or confrontational toward the progressive leftists and you can be guaranteed of a quick fold from those who suffer from the syndrome.  It doesn’t matter that Joe Wilson was correct; or that conservative Paul Ryan passes Omnibus, or that Mitch McConnell is a complete fraud….

So let’s look specifically at the aspect which the MSM is intentionally trying to keep everyone from paying attention to.  Beginning with the curriculum vitae as expressed by La Raza Judge Gonzalo Curiel.
I would draw your attention to the Hispanic National Bar Association aspect: (more…)

Texas Judge Andrew Hanen previously sanctioned the DOJ for lying to him several times in his courtroom.  His sanctions had three basic elements:

• DOJ lawyers attend ethics class annually for a period of five years.
• DOJ provide a list of every name, address, and location of each of the 100,000+ DAPA recipients who was granted unlawful immunity.
• Attorney General Lynch to deliver a corrective plan within 60 days. (link)

The DOJ freaked out and requested a hearing to discuss.  The hearing is tomorrow:
(Previously Via Washington Times) The Obama administration accused a federal judge Tuesday of sowing “fear and confusion” among illegal immigrants, potentially scaring them away from signing up for President Obama’s deportation amnesty by demanding immigration officials submit names of tens of thousands of migrants who’ve already enrolled.
Justice Department lawyers also asked Judge Andrew S. Hanen not to force thousands of attorneys to take remedial ethics classes — an order the judge issued two weeks ago after he concluded that the administration intentionally and repeatedly misled him by implementing part of the amnesty, even as they assured the court it wasn’t in operation yet.
