Forget President Obama breaking 40 years of U.S. diplomatic policy and engaging in direct talks with Iran…. forget that.
Forget President Obama breaking 50 years of U.S. diplomatic policy and engaging in direct political relationships with the communists in Cuba…. forget that too.
The Donald took a phone call from the President of Taiwan.
Oh, the winning… odd how it just seems to self-create now.
Recently reelected Democrat House Leader Nancy Pelosi (moonbat via San Francisco California) claims, in the face of another historic election loss, the Democrats don’t need a change in direction they just need a better vehicle to communicate their ideology.
Perfect! Add in a few more of Hollywoods’ famous actor videos supporting Keith Ellison for DNC head, and we’ll have a self-perpetuating political Christmas Present:
Judge Clifton Newman has declared a mistrial after the jury returned to further deliberations Monday in the Officer Michael Slager trial, and are unable to reach a unanimous verdict over the charges of Murder or Voluntary Manslaughter:
Let it be perfectly clear, this outcome, all they way through trial and jury deliberations, has followed the exact tract many CTH researchers and observers predicted since the initial case research. The entire state case rested upon provable malice. – Full Case Research Outlines Here –
Based entirely on the facts that were evident in this case, CTH and most participants within the discussion threads therein, it was transparently predictable today’s outcome would be the final disposition of the case. Update: According to a preliminary media debrief of the jury, which was outlined during a question at the post trial press conference:
The slager jury was hung on the Voluntary Manslaughter charge. The Jury was a unanimous 'not guilty' on the Murder Charge.
I have been reluctant to engage in speculation over potential Secretary of State candidates because the discussion therein is fraught with far too many nuances to outline succinctly without walking ourselves through a mine-field almost too complex to digest.
Suffice to say, anyone who has followed politics for any substantive amount of time knows the inherent issue with an operational entity, The U.S. State Department, whose entire mission has been at the epicenter of ctrl-left globalist advocacy.
One small example would be the Rivkin Project. Imagine how challenging it would be to take an organizational model, built over decades, and appoint a leader whose diplomatic mission would be to implement/construct policy entirely antithetical to the objectives of the participants within the organization?
Think about it. (more…)
Mr. Pinko at PolitOpinion smartly captures the essence of how CNN smugly tries to promote the concept of “fake news” through a pontificating process of willful blindness.
Remember, as David Mamet accurately stated: in order for liberals to retain their own ideological world-view, they must claim not to know/see things that are brutally obvious to everyone else. Intentional and willful blindness. In a recently aired segment of CNN, reporter Alisyn Comerota condescendingly questions a panel of Trump supporters. One of the inquires stimulates the panel to discuss an interview (prior to the election) where President Obama said illegal alien voters did not need to worry about being in trouble for illegally voting.
CNN’s Comerota smugly refuted the allegation by saying the aforementioned segment was false as it was later broadcast on Fox Business News; therefore the panel’s opinion was wrong. However, the Obama interview did take place, and the statement by President Obama was factually accurate as outlined within the concerns of the panel. (more…)
The Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is attempting to push back against increasing nationalistic sentiments by establishing a referendum tomorrow to fundamentally adjust the political powers of central governance.
In essence, tomorrow Italians will vote “YES” to approve of Renzi’s referendum, or “NO” to oppose his referendum. The referendum itself is a wide ranging construct intended to realign and centralize political power away from Italy’s current regional influences.
An analogy for Americans might be to think of Italy’s referendum as the elimination of the U.S. constitution’s 10th Amendment. [Which essentially says all powers not directly given to the federal government are necessarily retained by the states.] Italy’s vote tomorrow is to determine if their regions (states) are willing to cede power to Renzi’s centralized (federal) government.

The afternoon story began with the announcement the jury in the Officer Michael Slager trial was hopelessly deadlocked. Previously the State of South Carolina presented two options for verdict consideration, Murder or Voluntary Manslaughter. The voluntary manslaughter option (lesser charges) was added AFTER the trial phase was concluded and the defense presented, then rested, its case.
The reason for the lesser charge was transparent to all who knew and followed the case closely, there was virtually no-way for a jury to convict on just the original charge of murder, hence the lesser included.
Adding the lesser charge option after trial testimony was yet again more evidence of a manipulative prosecution.
In essence, the State –with the full support of activist Judge Newman– timed the lesser charge inclusion to ensure the defense never used elements within their legal presentation that would have defended specifically against the manslaughter charge.
However, that said, what happened on Friday was even more insufferable. After the jury announcing they were deadlocked, Judge Newman began by giving them an appropriate “Allen Charge” – essentially telling the jury to try again. (more…)
To fully understand the level of angst still permeating the failed Hillary Clinton campaign team, it is wise to remember they were so entirely overconfident they actually rented out the entire Javitz center on election night.
That’s 840,000 square feet of celebratory venue on four levels stretching across six city blocks in New York City. Team Clinton had convinced themselves the election outcome was merely a formality. Everyone in their concentric circles, including the media, was totally and completely convinced that Hillary Clinton was going to win. The loss was seismic, tectonic, and beyond jaw-dropping for their echo-chamber. It caught them entirely unprepared.
That’s the essential backdrop for a level of psychological and emotional denial the Clinton team just cannot bring themselves to overcome. Last night the severity of their collective grief was on full display during a panel discussion at Harvard University.
It’s somewhat of an election ritual where every four years at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government (CNN’s David Gergen President), opposing teams from the presidential campaigns answer questions together from the media and from each other.
However, this year, Clinton’s advisory team attacked Trump’s campaign team with racism charges, saying “I would rather lose than win the way you guys did.” But the Trump team didn’t take it laying down, and Kellyanne Conway fired right back.
Here’s the explosive confrontation:
The jury in the case against Officer Michael Slager is deadlocked. No decision was able to be reached. The judge has provided an Allen Charge giving the jury a final instruction to go back and deliberate, try again. A “mistrial” is entirely possible.
Many of us anticipated this outcome because prosecutor Wilson overreached with the initial charge of murder. However, on the day the jury was given the case the prosecution knew/accepted they were not going to get a murder conviction, and convinced Judge Newman to provide a secondary option of voluntary manslaughter.
The judge instructed the jury that they can acquit Slager, convict him of murder or convict him of voluntary manslaughter. A murder conviction carries a sentence of 30 years to life. (link)
If you have not followed the CTH research on this case you might be surprised with this outcome. The MSM presentation is completely false. However, long-time CTH readers and contributors will not be shocked. You can find all prior CTH research HERE
It is going to take years to break through the false constructs of radical left-wing economic principles which have been sold by modern academia and corporate media. However, eventually people will recognize once again that being allowed to keep their own money, the outcome of their own labor, is not an expense on government.
The current Carrier HVAC story is an example of economic cognitive dissonance. Allowing Carrier to keep a larger portion of their own income, to afford a larger labor force, is not a government expense. Government does not own the income, Carrier does.
The reason Mexico was the better play was simply because by changing locations the company could: A.) make more, and B.) keep more – of its own revenue. Donald Trump is attempting to reverse this cancerous economic system and create the better play right here in the U.S.A. (more…)
