In the run-up to the 2012 presidential election President Obama was quick to dismiss the growing threat of ISIS as a “junior varsity team”.
However, in 2016 with no reelection needed, a rather stark and somber forecast is delivered by the Department of National Intelligence head, James Clapper.
Prior to delivering testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee, James Clapper submitted a summary of intelligence analytics describing the scope of threat. (more…)
Tonight, in advance of the New Hampshire vote tomorrow, Megyn Kelly goes into full defense mode to protect Senator Marco Rubio from his horrible debate performance. You can watch the full-frontal effort HERE
Immediately after interviewing Marco Rubio, she brings in who? Wait for it… wait for it…. Yep, Governor Chris Christie. Watch:
The laughable portion is when Chris Christie points out to Kelly (@01:00) that he knows she is using canned Christie footage provided by the Marco Rubio campaign. Kelly tries to claim the footage did not come from Rubio, but the pearl clutching is just too much. The transparency of the Fox/Kelly agenda is ridiculous.
But seriously, this would make sense for Wall Street if the global financial interests think Donald Trump will win the GOP nomination. Hillary is seriously damaged goods, Bernie is a socialist – and Wall Street always hedges their best interests.
(CNN) — Michael Bloomberg says he is considering running for president of the United States, a move that would dramatically shake up an already chaotic 2016 race.
In an interview with Financial Times, the media mogul and former New York City mayor said he was “looking at all the options” when asked about a possible bid.
“I’m listening to what candidates are saying and what the primary voters appear to be doing,” Bloomberg said, adding that he would need to add his name on ballots by early March in order to stage a serious campaign.
The billionaire also issued his most damning indictment of the current campaigns to date.
In a recent South Carolina GOP debate Jeb Bush talked about trade with China and showed how much he relies on briefings by his team to create his talking points. Bush did not realize Boeing was moving a manufacturing plant to China, and with it American Jobs – SEE HERE
Similarly, last night in New Hampshire, to bolster his propositions about eminent domain, Governor Jeb Bush made the gobsmacking assertion the Keystone Pipeline project was a “public use” project.
It isn’t.
Candidate Donald Trump must have a massive amount of confidence in his New Hampshire operation. Another day passes without any Donald Trump event in/around New Hampshire in the lead-up to the 8pm Saturday ABC Debate at Saint Anslem College.
“A third of likely Republican voters in New Hampshire said they could change their minds before Tuesday, according to a Suffolk University-Boston Globe poll released Friday, which had Trump leading at 29 percent followed by Rubio at 19 percent and Kasich at 13 percent.” (link)
For the Saturday night debate ABC News is partnered with affiliate WMUR, Independent Journal Review, the Republican National Committee and Saint Anselm College.
Progressive favorites David Muir and Martha Raddatz will moderate the debate, and position the narrative to expose the Republican party to as much ridicule and marginalization as possible. (more…)
….Go ahead and try.
The head of Fox News, Mr. Wall Street, aka billionaire Rupert Murdoch (not an American) is one of the strongest advocates for mass immigration into the U.S. to fundamentally change the dynamics of the U.S. economy.
This approach further solidifies the modern American future as service driven only – a traditional class society, “haves and have-much-less“. The middle class evaporates along with the lost jobs and wages.
Mr. Rupert’s most visible investment is Fox’s princess Megyn Kelly, who just coincidentally signed a book deal with another of Ruperts’ business interests, Harper Collins books.
Princess Kelly’s book deal is worth somewhere north of $5 million, and many observers are putting the deal around $10 million. Quite a beneficial payday for Ms. Kelly from her boss, Rupert Murdoch.
Murdoch is a long time supporter of Senator Marco Rubio. The Fox News head even structured media coverage on behalf of Rubio during the Gang-of-Eight legislative fiasco in 2013. (more…)
This is NOT about Carly Fiorina, this is entirely about how blazingly stupid the professional republican party is. Well, actually, “Willfully blind” is perhaps more apropos.
There are essentially eight candidates left in the GOP race: Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Christie, Carson, Kasich, and Fiorina. ABC announces their debate and SEVEN are going to be on the New Hampshire debate stage.
Who is missing? Carly Fiorina.
Now before everyone jumps into the ‘she-doesn’t-deserve-it’ argument, or any variant therein, let me repeat – THIS IS NOT ABOUT CARLY FIORINA. This is entirely about the preferred narrative of ABC and democrat activist, debate moderator, and Clinton foundation leadership member, George Stephanopoulos. (more…)
Important to note, before these video’s surfaced Mark Levin was saying there is no such constitutional right as “birthright citizenship”. However, given the contrarian position of his candidate, perhaps someone could ask Levin now – he’s probably evolved too.
Senator Ted Cruz entire campaign, much like the credibility of Mark Levin, is built around his claim as “the most consistent conservative”.
The topic is “birthright citizenship”:
Everything is happening almost as predicted in 2014. Current events also highlight the key truism in the modified GOPe road-map since the entry of the unanticipated variable, Donald Trump.
The goal continues to be remove the unanticipated variable. Encapsulated thusly:
…..Remove Donald Trump and Ben Carson becomes Herman Cain, Ted Cruz becomes Newt Gingrich and Rubio/Jeb take the role of Mitt Romney in 2012. And everyone in Washington DC is happy, happy again….
There is ONLY ONE candidate who was not a variable in the original GOPe road-map, that candidate is Donald Trump. As soon as Trump entered the arena the entire strategic splitter plan had to be modified.
The GOPe modification was brutally obvious. Instead of immediately destroying Ted Cruz (the original plan) they changed the thrust of their approach to keep Ted Cruz viable (modified plan) thereby blocking Donald Trump from gaining a coalition which would keep Jeb/Rubio or Rubio/Jeb from the nomination.
This approach is why Mitch McConnell (and the DC Cartel) set up the Super-PAC and actually funded Ted Cruz in Iowa, and attacked Donald Trump. [Shades of Mississippi ’14 strategy] (more…)
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.
Today the FEC requested information from the Cruz campaign, with a response due by March 8th:
