(Via Reuters) The most-wanted fugitive from November’s Paris attacks was arrested after a shootout with police in Brussels on Friday, the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office said.

Local media reported that Salah Abdeslam, the 26-year-old French suspect, was wounded in the operation as EU leaders met on the other side of the city to discuss Europe’s migration crisis.

Television footage showed armed security forces dragging a man with a sack on his head out of a building and into a car.

“We got him,” Belgium’s Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration, Theo Francken, said on Twitter. (more…)

You know how severely the echo-chamber in Washington DC is insulated when even Steve Schmidt-for-brains can see the pending tsunami and yet describe how the professional political class just don’t get it.

The smug, disconnected, pontificating Ryan-Pelosi-McConnell-Reid rulers just can’t bring themselves to look out the window, toward the horizon, and accept the heated caldrons of tar and feathers being assembled.  They are so certain of their own entitlements, they keep themselves surrounded by sycophantic deniers ensure they will never have to accept the unacceptable.

It is always a good day for the vulgarian rebel alliance when Terry O’Sullivan, Andy Stern and Richard Trumka begin having ‘splodey heads because the republican candidate has more appeal than the Democrat they are organizationally funding.

WOLVERINES !

The inconvenient headline at the Huffington Post anxiously decries:  “Donald Trump’s Working-Class Appeal Is Starting To Freak Out Labor Unions“….  Oh my, the humanity.

“He starts with a different profile than George Bush or Mitt Romney. He is the first Republican in a while that has real appeal. I don’t think people looked at Mitt Romney and said, ‘He’s going to fight for me.’” – Andy Stern (former President SEIU)

Yes, the intellectually honest, and economically patriotic, union rank-and-file find more optimism within the candidacy of the Blue Collar Billionaire who has a proven track record of actually delivering positive results for union workers including jobs, wages and contracts which pay their mortgages, car payments and kid’s college tuitions.

Go figure! (sarc). (more…)

Let me begin by saying I am convinced candidate Donald Trump will get the 1,237 delegates he needs, so this outline could be just an intellectual exercise.  However, last night on Sean Hannity RNC Chairman Reince Priebus discussed the delegate math and state of the GOP race headed toward the presidential nomination.

RNC Chairman Preibus and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan are best friends having grown up in the same town in Wisconsin and attending High School together.  Please focus your  attention to the specific wording he uses @05:34.  Close attention:

[…] “And you want people to at least say, when they walk away, OK they played it straight; that’s what’s really important in this process”…

We pointed out on February 25th the five times (in 24 hours) prior to the Houston CNN debate, including on the stage itself, when Reince Preibus stated emphatically the “presidential candidates were applying to join the party“.  Meaning from the RNC position the party apparatus is external to the presidential candidates, who are trying to join the RNC team by winning the nomination. (more…)

A common response to the shenanigans of the RNC/GOPe from the comments:

Major Chris Dickson USA (Ret):  “I just informed the RNC that after voting for over 46 years as a Republican, having served on Staff for U.S. Senator Dan Coats (R-IN), and having run as a Republican for the General Assembly, immediately following the Indiana primary I am leaving the Republican Party and going Independant. They no longer represent my core values because all they do is “Rubber-Stamp” everything Obama shoves at them!”

WARNING:

That’s exactly what the RNC hope you’ll do.

The goal of the RNC is to drive out those who don’t agree with them so the party remains with a small closed circle of narrow-minded sycophants. Then they close the party election to registered republicans, and you’re permanently locked out.

If you want to be able to effect change, you have to begin thinking of U.S. politics in general, and presidential politics specifically, as an insurgency.

Being part of a political insurgency means you accept the role of eliminating the RNC apparatus you dislike, by taking a more strategic approach and destroying them from the inside. Hence, the Trump approach, and our support for it. (more…)

Sunlight is The Best Disinfectant

Two days ago – two men, actually two professional antagonists, showed up wearing armbands supposedly ‘spoofing‘ Donald Trump with Nazi comparisons.  However, things were not as they seemed.

The men who wore armbands touting Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump were actually the same pranksters who sported “Settle for Hillary” shirts at a Hillary Clinton event earlier this year.

As reported in The Hill

The men wore armbands with a large “T” on them at a Trump rally in Florida, according to a picture tweeted by a reporter from The Boston Globe.

Steady your nerves America.  Detach yourself from auto-emotional responses.  Remember the difference between anger and “cold anger“.  Recognize the “Battered Conservative Syndrome” and resist it.

The cloistered institutional power-elite who have set-up the political system for their own enrichment, the oligarchy, are facing the very real possibility of losing control.  There are TRILLIONS of dollars at stake.

Their very exclusive lifestyle of indulgence is being threatened by the candidacy of Donald Trump.   They are throwing every ugly attack angle possible in Trump’s direction in order to eliminate the threat.  Remain focused, stay frosty and steel your resolve.

A message from Senator David Perdue – Explains HERE

The goal of any insurgency is to work earnestly against the ruling power structure.

Looks like the ordinary German nationalists have pushed back against the globalists and open border leftists in Germany.  Six years ago most of the EU admitted multiculturalism had failed miserably, yet they still allowed millions of mid-east “refugees” to tear away at the fabric of civilized society.  The ordinary citizens are saying ENOUGH !   

(Via Daily Mail) German voters turned to the far right in droves yesterday in a damning verdict on Angela Merkel’s open door border policy.

In regional elections she was humiliated by the anti-immigrant AfD – Alternative for Germany – party.

Formed just three years ago, it has surged in popularity following Mrs Merkel’s decision to roll out the red carpet for more than a million migrants.

Frauke Petry, who leads the Eurosceptic party, has suggested German border guards should open fire on illegal immigrants.

Analysts said the regional poll – in which Mrs Merkel’s ruling Christian Democrats lost two out of three states – was a ‘worst case scenario’ for the embattled chancellor ahead of a general election next year. (more…)

Hopefully the good people of Ohio will recognize what the appearance of Mitt Romney on stage with Governor John Kasich exemplifies.  The cocktail class republicans are desperate to remain in power – by any means necessary.

Governor John Kasich is not on the ballot in most of Illinois districts.  Kasich also did not qualify for the Pennsylvania ballot.  He didn’t qualify in 2015 because initially his usefulness to the GOPe grand plan was supposed to be splitting the ballot in Ohio to the benefit of Jeb Bush.   Kasich’s willingness to go along with such a deceptive scheme should tell you all you need to know about where his loyalties are.

(Via NBC) Mitt Romney will campaign with John Kasich Monday at two stops in Ohio, NBC News has learned from a source familiar with the plans.

Romney is not expected to endorse the Ohio governor during the campaign swing, the source said, but it will be the first time Romney has campaigned on behalf of a Republican candidate this cycle. (more…)
