According to an article today in candidate Cruz’s official Super-PAC funded (Via Robert Mercer) media outlet, Breitbart.Com, Senator Ted Cruz now says he doesn’t support the current U.S. Trade Policy and has fully adopted the position of candidate Donald Trump in calling for “Fair Trade’.
Except he’s lying.
Again.
Senator Cruz previously said the reason he gave up support for Trans-Pacific Trade deal TPP, and voted against his own legislative vehicle (TPA), was because Mitch McConnell lied to him.
However, no-one seems to know enough about the legislative construct to actually challenge Cruz on his absurd claim.
Senate Leader Mitch McConnell promised several democrats in the senate he would include re-authorization of the Import/Export bank (December 2015 Omnibus) in exchange for support on the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (TPA) (June ’15).
This is the McConnell LIE Senator Cruz speaks of when he justifies changing his TPA vote at the last minute from Yea, to Nay.
Candidate Cruz is never challenged on that ridiculous reasoning. The Import/Export Bank re-authorization had absolutely nothing to do with TPP or TPA. It was purely a cover excuse. (more…)
Incredibly, despite the full support of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker; and despite the support of Speaker of the House Paul Ryan; and despite the non-stop campaigning of 2012 Presidential candidate Mitt Romney; and despite the support of the largest Wisconsin radio talk show voice, Charlie Sykes; and despite the endorsement of Governor Jeb Bush; and despite over $100 million Wall Street dollars being spent in negative attack ads against his opponent…
These results are jaw-dropping for Ted Cruz when you consider:
The senate “Gang of Eight” comprehensive immigration reform bill, which included amnesty legislation was not blocked by Senator Ted Cruz or Senator Marco Rubio – it specifically passed the senate because of them, not despite them.
A very insightful PBS documentary “The Immigration Battle” lays out exactly what took place during the 2013/2014 legislative time frame. If you have not watched the documentary I would strongly recommend you do so, it is profoundly enlightening. (more…)
♦ Governor Scott Walker likes to display his rebel side (although it’s an illusion intended to solidify Tea-Party bona fides in optics only) by riding around on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. After all, Harley Davidson is headquartered in Wisconsin.
Well, for now at least.
♦ Wisconsin representative, now Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, also likes to tout his form of fiscal conservatism. However, as the former Chairman of the budgetary ways and means committee, a federal budget is also an optical illusion (hasn’t been one since ’07).
♦ Representative Paul Ryan and Governor Scott Walker along with RNC Chairman Reince Preibus promote themselves as proud Wisconsin cheese-heads; “conservatives” they say.
Well, given Paul Ryan’s full-throated endorsement and promotion for the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (TPP), perhaps the Wisconsin working voter would like to see exactly what they have in mind for you. Remember, each of the aforementioned has also endorsed Senator Ted Cruz – who, not coincidentally, was the co-author of the Trade Promotion Authority bill (TPA) which was the vehicle to insure TPP’s passage.
Rather than go through all of the tentacles, and difficult to understand TPP construct, let’s instead use that wonderful Scott Walker (Harley Davidson motorcycle) example to show Wisconsin voters what’s really going on. (more…)
Thanks to the candidacy of Donald Trump the financial intersection of money and political opinion, as guided by the monetary motives therein, has brought some amazing revelations to the surface.
These financial/media relationships have largely, and historically, remained hidden. They have damned sure never been publicly, clearly, and regularly stated so the consuming audience would know the presentation was fraught with financial conflict.

(Via Daily Mail) Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has been charged with simple battery for allegedly grabbing a reporter, in a case that may hinge on a Secret Service claim that the journalist first made unwanted physical contact with the billionaire-turned-politician.
[…] a member of Trump’s Secret Service detail told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that Fields touched Trump twice – and was warned by agents to stop – before Lewandowski pulled her away.
“She crossed in between agents and our protectee after being told not to,” said the agent, who was present that night in Jupiter. (more…)
Harvey Leroy Atwater, or “Lee” as he was known, was an old-school republican political operative who was a master of the dark arts in political obfuscation, and denial.
What we are witnessing in this video, via the denials of Senator Ted Cruz, is straight from the Atwater school of political management.
When infidelities are discovered:
• Hide the spouse • Take her off the trail • Block contact • Delete Social Media • Present female spokesperson as intercepting agent for candidate • Keep interceptor with candidate at all times • Deny • Deny • Deny…. until denial is no longer a plausible option:
On Friday March 25th Mark Levin finally dropped his crony-constitutional shtick and admitted he preferred to see the U.S. brought to it’s knees. In a very revealing two hour broadcast he railed against trade “tariffs” claiming they were in direct opposition to the needs of the Chinese, Asian and European economies.
He followed up by saying Mitch McConnell was using the National Republican Senatorial Committee to perpetrate fraud against America. Quoting the example of Thad Cochran’s re-election bid, Levin went on to say how horrid the construct of the NRSC is. Of course, in order to reconcile his current endorsement for Senator Ted Cruz, Levin has to skip the part where Cruz was Vice-Chair of the NRSC when the Cochran fraud was presented.
Funny how that works.
But Levin is not alone in his new found exposure aligning himself with Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney as they collectively campaign and endorse Senator Cruz. Oh, how the globalist intents make for such brilliantly exposed bedfellows when the covers are pulled back. (more…)
