Good grief. @glennbeck said he lost support for @RandPaul because rand cut deal with McConnell. Cruz cut the same deal at the same time.

Let it not be said that we fail to follow through.

Outlined below is part of the video from a 19 minute segment Megyn Kelly ran on her show allowing Glenn Beck to launch an attack against Donald Trump without any push-back.

The entire “interview” (actually a one-way diatribe) was targeted to a Fox audience that has not, and does not, pay attention to political comings and goings 24/7/365; in essence, the casual political follower.

There is a lot of misinformation in that entire exposition; but one very specific part of the misinformation that needs to be showcased, and, as luck would have it, exists within our archives – because of the intense importance the moment provided in understanding what was going on in DC. (more…)

…I’d rather vote for a single billionaire I know, than support the dozens of billionaires who hide behind the scenes…

Another series of polls today from CNN/ORC (full pdf below), and from NBC (Iowa) show a convergence of statistical support.  Candidate Donald Trump continues to solidify his lead and the base of his support grows ever more firm:

(Via CNN) Washington – Donald Trump has hit a new high in the race for the Republican nomination, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll, with more than 4-in-10 Republican voters nationwide now saying they back the billionaire.

And more than two-thirds of Republicans say he’s the candidate most likely to capture their party’s presidential nomination. (more…)

There’s something initially angering that becomes very sad when a fraud is revealed.  Tonight on his radio show Mark Levin was forced to admit the son of his fiance’ is a full time staffer for Senator Ted Cruz.

After spending weeks attacking anyone who critiques candidate Ted Cruz, the motives of Mark Levin now take full sunlight.   He should be ashamed, VERY ashamed.

No, Mr. crony-constitutionalist, lying by omission is not the least bit funny.  Nor is deception toward your audience when you do not disclose your own conflicts.   Especially when we consider the hours Levin spends railing against the internecine family associations like George Will and his wife working for Scott Walker.

Crony politics is apparently alive and well amid the Mark Levin radio show. Perhaps he will tell the audience how much advertising money he takes from political campaigns?  Or more specifically entities with a vested interest in political campaigns?

Think he’ll fess up now that he’s busted?

Nah, me neither.

He’s got another book to sell…

By now most people are aware of the controversy surrounding Candidate Ted Cruz and his failure to reveal $1.3 million in campaign “loans” from Goldman Sachs and Citibank during his 2012 campaign for the senate.

At the heart of the issue is a failure of Ted and Heidi Cruz to list Wall Street “loans” on the required Federal Election Commission financial reports.

Together with the campaign officials the Cruz’s say the non-reporting was an accidental oversight.  However, a watch dog group has now filed a complaint with the FEC which is step one to beginning an FEC investigation.

The full complaint (pdf) is outlined below.  However, the larger question behind the complaint would be the motive for Ted and Heidi Cruz to hide the source of their campaign funds.  The activity the complainant is presenting to have the FEC investigate, if proven accurate, is factually illegal. (more…)

Many people are becoming familiar with a common ‘truth-stretching trait‘ of Ted Cruz that appears to be infecting his followers and supporters.

In addition to Cruz’s eligibility concerns (which are contingent upon evolving his interpretations of the constitution), and in addition to the sunlight now beginning to reach his sketchy Wall Street financial and globalist background, Cruz is having to make claims out of loin cloth to protect his increasingly unstable candidacy.

Yesterday, in an effort to protect himself, Cruz was reduced to calling Kansas Senator Pat Roberts a liar.  The wheels are increasingly wobbly on the lonely Cruzin’ bus.  So it should come as no surprise to see his supporters doing the same.

Example:

As you can see above, a Ted Cruz supporter claims to have attended a Donald Trump rally (Scott Brown’s No BS BBQ event) in Portsmouth New Hampshire and been paid by $50 by the Trump campaign for attendance.

WHAT?  Donald Trump is paying people to attend his rallies?  Oh dear.

The Cruz Social Media team “Women for Conservative Leaders” jumped at the opportunity to promote and display the claim.  However,…..

If an immigrant is here illegally, but hasn’t committed a crime, Rubio says they’re the good kind; keepers.   The “Illegal Non-Criminal” oxymoron aliens.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Marco Rubio says people who immigrated to the U.S. illegally but haven’t committed any major crimes could be allowed to stay.

In an interview airing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Florida contender for the Republican presidential nomination said felons shouldn’t be allowed to stay, but those who commit lesser crimes could still qualify. In this interview, he didn’t specify whether those allowed to stay would ever be able to become citizens. (more…)

UPDATE: 8 Hours after sending the false information, Glenn Beck hides an “apology” on his FaceBook page.  He did not remove the Tweet, and does not apologize with the same publicity of the fraud via Twitter and Fox Broadcast – very typical Beck maneuver.

—————-

It is no secret that Glenn Beck is a staunch advocate for Ted Cruz. The relationship between Beck and Cruz is one of mutual financial benefit.

However, today Beck shifted his advocacy to another level of scheme with an outright, and already debunked, lie sent out to his twitter followers:

We can only assume, based on the closeness of the relationship between Beck and Ted Cruz, that Beck coordinated this total fabrication with the direct approval of the Cruz campaign: (more…)

There is a myriad of entities, self-interests and parasitic entities who corrupt the entire U.S. body politic.  However, at the epicenter of all of them is one man, Tom Donohue, the head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.  The Coc is the legislative influencing firm behind all of the crony capitalistic and Wall Street schemes.

In a recent article, Donohue steps out from behind the mahogany door and decries the frontrunner of the presidential race.

(Via Wall Street Journal) The head of the nation’s biggest business lobby inveighed against presidential candidates singling out immigrants, ethnic or religious groups, highlighting divisions among supporters of the Republican establishment and the party’s leading candidate Donald Trump.

Forget the nonsense from President Obama’s State of The Union diatribe of same/same left-wing nonsense cloaked in claims of incivility from his opposition.  Forget that nonsense, it was predictable. Most of the electorate were more interested in whether the DC Republicans had received the message within a six-month-leading Donald Trump candidacy.

And…. the answer is a resounding NO !

There is only one party in DC and that is the UniParty run by Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.  There’s not a hairs difference between them, and Nikki Haley just affirmed the GOPe commitment in that regard.

[…]  “We need to be honest with each other, and with ourselves: while Democrats in Washington bear much responsibility for the problems facing America today, they do not bear it alone. There is more than enough blame to go around.

The Maryland Appeals Court has stepped in to halt the trial against Officer Caesar Goodson on the day jury selection was scheduled to begin.   In an earlier appellate court ruling the forced testimony of accused police officer William Porter was blocked.  The State’s cases are falling apart due to inept legal application and ideological motives to prosecute.

Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby is now claiming without Porter’s testimony her cases against both Caesar Goodson and Alicia White will not stand:

[…] not being able to call Porter as a witness would “result in irreparable harm to the People of Maryland by effectively gutting their government’s prosecution” of two of the officers. (link)

On its face this is an absolutely absurd position.  (more…)
