Last night Donald Trump gave an excellent interview to Don Lemon on CNN. Here’s the video (HatTip TrumpVideos):
(Via The Hill) Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz has issued an edict that sells short the soul of the party of the people.
There will only be six presidential debates for Democrats in the 2016 cycle, and any candidate who participates in any others will be banned from the DNC debates. As recently as Wednesday, Wasserman Schultz, sounding like Vladimir Putin dictating to the Russian Politburo, declared that she will not budge on this.
Here is a proposal for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and other Democratic candidates for the nation’s highest office: You should join together to publicly state that if any respected organization wishes to hold additional debates, you will participate in defiance of the Putin-like commands from Washington.

At the beginning of last month we shared – There is an expression:
“I will leave you naked before your enemies”…
A proactive assertion essentially stating: if you chose to engage in war with me – not only do I promise your defeat against my interests, but I will lay you open to exposure from all adversaries – who will then take advantage of your new vulnerability.
Presidential Candidate Donald Trump is doing a remarkable job filling the role behind this proclamation. In a seismic political shift Trump has gone far beyond drawing a line in the sand. He has openly dug a trench on his pre-selected battle space within conservative encampments.
Without any apology or hidden motive, he has filled the trench with a highly explosive electorate fuel (the result from years of Republican lies and deceit) and he is openly standing behind his formation twirling a Zippo while looking toward the deceivers.
As a direct result of this approach the enemy inside the wire is being forced to expose themselves. The various “Robert’s-The Bruce”, per se’, are in a precarious position of attacking -in vain effort to retain the necessary ruse- however, consequently exposing their alignment with usurping powers of Machiavellian intent.

Three days ago Speaker of the House John Boehner announces his stepping-down and no-longer running for office.
Now today, this shows up (notice too it’s published in National Review):
Remember when Senate Democrats used budget reconciliation to pass #Obamacare? Let’s use same process to repeal it: http://t.co/IaTCn20ddm

Where the HECK was this 10 months ago? (more…)
After it was announced that Speaker John Boehner was retiring, conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin said don’t elect Kevin McCarthy to the speakership because McCarthy is just like Eric Cantor except 10 IQ points lower. Last night McCarthy proved Levin was correct.
Kevin McCarthy appears on Sean Hannity show and gives the Democrats defending Hillary Clinton an atomic sledgehammer to wield against Trey Gowdy and the Senate Select Committee on Benghazi. Listen (video prompted to 4:04):

Essentially what McCarthy is saying, when viewed from the perspective of how the Democrat political punditry will use it, is that the Gowdy committee is only in place to damage candidate Hillary Clinton politically.
Is it any wonder why today reports from inside the beltway who opine that Trey Gowdy is ready to hang it up? Seriously. (more…)
Back in 2009/2010 Zuckerberg and Obama were discussing the use of Facebook for the Arab Spring objectives, so this latest revelation comes as no surprise.
(CNBC) German Chancellor Angela Merkel was overheard confronting Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over incendiary posts on the social network, Bloomberg reported on Sunday, amid complaints from her government about anti-immigrant posts in the midst of Europe’s refugee crisis.
On the sidelines of a United Nations luncheon on Saturday, Merkel was caught on a hot mic pressing Zuckerberg about social media posts about the wave of Syrian refugees entering Germany, the publication reported. (more…)
It was obvious early this morning that something was up. There was a tremor amid the Dark Force as Team Clinton came out with an announcement that she would support a change to ObamaCare that would kill the Cadillac tax on union healthcare plans.
Obviously Hillary Clinton is trying to shore up support from various labor unions who are increasingly finding the Democrat positions at odds with middle America.
The decision by Hillary Clinton NOT TO support the Keystone Pipeline was a serious strike against her. The decision to support the anti-American Trans-Pacific Trade deal was obviously additional blow. In an effort to recover credibility Hillary Clinton is now stating she opposes the Cadillac Tax on union healthcare benefits. However, it might be too little, too late. (more…)
Porter was the only one not to attend the hearing. It appears Marilyn Mosby is leveraging Porter against the other five defendants; perhaps that explains Porter’s absence in court.
(Via Baltimore Sun) The six Baltimore police officers charged in Freddie Gray’s arrest and death will be tried separately over the course of the next several months, with proceedings against Officer William G. Porter starting Nov. 30.
The new timeline, which pushes the trials back from a previously scheduled date of Oct. 13, was established during a hearing in Circuit Court on Tuesday afternoon, where five of the six officers appeared before Judge Barry Williams for the first time. Porter waived his right to attend the hearing.
[…] The delay in Porter’s trial came at the request of the defense which said it needed time for further investigation. The delays in the five other officers’ trials came at the request of the state and was granted by Williams over the objections of the officers’ attorneys. (more…)
There is a particular depth of disingenuous detachment when listening to “Establishment Republicans” discuss the Donald Trump tax proposal today.Especially when we see a pundit like George Will espousing “a profound moral hazard” within a tax proposal that removes federal tax liability from those earning less than $25,000/year.
Before giving an accurate history of the issue, please watch the 30 seconds of this video. Here is George Will on Monday. The video is prompted to 36:15 where he opines:

Ah, what a short memory, and insufferable disconnect, these “establishment” types carry.
However, the narrow-minded, and profoundly convenient history-rewriting is not limited to the professionally disingenuous. (more…)
Morning Consult has updated their latest national polling results utilizing 1,543 registered voters Sept 24th – Sept 27th. Consult has, over time, shown to be one of the few consistently accurate polling organizations when compared to regional and state level polls of similar scope. MC also, over time, has reflected the overall social media sentiment with accuracy.
The latest poll shows Donald Trump maintaining 30% electorate support with Ben Carson coming in second at 15%. If this were Jeb Bush maintaining 30% (over two months) the GOPe would be demanding that all other candidates coalesce and give Jeb their immediate loyal support. Alas, because this is not “their guy” the establishment continue to fight to tear Trump down:
The overall plan to elevate GOPe Carly Fiorina and GOPe Marco Rubio continues via extraordinary efforts in the media to push the establishment players to the top of the field. However, while some of the electorate have been swayed by the propaganda, there’s good news – The polled support showing visible traction is not enough to accomplish the task. (more…)
The BLM movement has been well documented to include some of the most anti-social, hate-filled elements of the Occupy crowd; only BLM one comes with specific violence toward police and law enforcement.
(TPM) – Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) called on Americans to focus on racial justice and expressed her support for the Black Lives Matter movement in a Sunday speech at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate in Boston.
Warren referenced the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s (D-MA) focus on civil rights issues and said, “If his life and death had a meaning, it was that we should not hate but love one another; we should use our powers not to create conditions of oppression that lead to violence, but conditions of freedom that lead to peace.”
She said that since the Civil Rights Act, the United States has not come close enough to equality.
“Fifty years later, we have made real progress toward creating the conditions of freedom — but we have not made enough progress,” she said, according to her prepared remarks. (more…)
