A curious situation presented itself two weeks ago within the FEC reports and required filings of 2016 election Super-PACS. A direct phone inquiry confirmed a noted decrease in the number of required “24-hour expenditure reports” from some Super-PAC’s currently active and engaged in the 2016 presidential election.
Perhaps the decrease in filing activity was  just coincidental to several recent revelations which were discovered and discussed relating to the payments to media groups and various media-created LLC’s who are beneficiaries of Super-PAC funding.
They could just be spending less, and being less involved in the last 10 days. A key deadline for monthly summary filings is only five days away.
However, it could also be that THIS SUNLIGHT is expanding exponentially.
Super-PACS are required to file a detailed monthly list of donors (contributions) and expenditures (payments) for the preceding month on/before the 20th day of the current reporting period. Meaning contributions and expenditures for “March 2016” are due by April 20th – TODAY.

Cruz super PAC Keep the Promise III collected $770k in March, almost entirely from another Cruz super PAC, Trusted Leadership.

D.A.P.A or Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program – is the executive action Obama attempted in November of 2014 which was shut down by Federal Judge Andrew Hanen in February ’15 with the issuance of an emergency injunction.

• The DOJ appealed the Hanen injunction, on merit, to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and lost.
• The DOJ then appealed the Hanen injunction, on standing, to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, and lost again. (Full Backstory) <– Absolutely critical read to understand the scope of what was argued today – includes prior court rulings.

The DOJ filed an appeal with the US Supreme Court. On January 19th, 2016 the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.
Today, April 18th, 2016, the court heard oral arguments –full pdf transcript below– decision expected in late June/July.  We bring you the direct source information so you can make up your own mind and don’t need the media’s interpretation.
The 108 page transcript of the 90 minute hearing is a GREAT READ:

Everyone outside the lame media machine already knew this ridiculous accusation was never going to be prosecuted.  Apparently today the Jupiter prosecutor affirmed the predictable.  An official statement due tomorrow…

(Via Politico) A Florida prosecutor has decided not to prosecute Donald Trump’s campaign manager for battery after a March run-in with former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, sources with knowledge of the situation told POLITICO.
The decision not to press charges against Corey Lewandowski is scheduled to be announced on Thursday afternoon by Palm Beach County State Attorney David Aronberg.

We’ve been waiting to write an outline regarding the “Panama Papers”, because one of the more interesting aspects in the distribution is how the sources within  the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung refused to share the massive file of information with the New York Times.
Instead, Süddeutsche Zeitung shared the data through an International Consortium of Investigative Journalists with the including the Guardian and the BBC.
Here’s a brief outline of first batch details: (more…)

Speaking on behalf of Donald Trump, Sarah Palin gave a speech last night to a Wisconsin Republican audience.   Standing firmly on a platform of truth, Palin warned the mostly party (establishment) audience their decision to stand with deception in order to win an election also means placing themselves in a very precarious position.
The response from the audience to Sarah’s brutal honesty was what’s customarily known as “the collective nervousness of deceivers“.

Whenever anyone dares to tell the collective: ‘the emperor stands naked’; there’s a particular kind of autonomic group nervousness immediately evident.  A group discomfort.
Such was the discomfort when Sarah Palin mentioned Senator Ted Cruz’s weak and opportunistic immigration position, and then contrast a real-life example of Cruz going to McAllen Texas (Saturday, July 19th 2014) to hand out “gift baskets” and welcome illegal alien families.
You could hear a pin-drop as an entire audience sat jaw-agape in disbelief.
When a fearless truth-teller stares down a room – the collective immediately need each other to retain their guise.  Here’s an example of their initial response: (more…)

For those who are deep in the weeds on the Michelle Fields nonsense, here’s a video which essentially takes all of the various angles, video’s, audio’s, and puts them together to show how ridiculous her claims were/are.
Even if you haven’t kept up with all the column inches dedicated to this insufferably silly story, this video cuts through the chaff and hits the essential point – It’s much ado about nothing.  Moonbattery

(Via Daily Mail) Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has been charged with simple battery for allegedly grabbing a reporter, in a case that may hinge on a Secret Service claim that the journalist first made unwanted physical contact with the billionaire-turned-politician.

[…] a member of Trump’s Secret Service detail told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that Fields touched Trump twice – and was warned by agents to stop – before Lewandowski pulled her away.

“She crossed in between agents and our protectee after being told not to,” said the agent, who was present that night in Jupiter. (more…)

Harvey Leroy Atwater, or “Lee” as he was known, was an old-school republican political operative who was a master of the dark arts in political obfuscation, and denial.
What we are witnessing in this video, via the denials of Senator Ted Cruz, is straight from the Atwater school of political management.
When infidelities are discovered:
• Hide the spouse • Take her off the trail • Block contact • Delete Social Media • Present female spokesperson as intercepting agent for candidate • Keep interceptor with candidate at all times • Deny • Deny • Deny…. until denial is no longer a plausible option:

♦ The interceptor is to deflect attention away from the campaign. ♦ The Candidate must not answer direct questions. ♦ Reassert candidate’s humility perspective.  This becomes paramount to give space if needed in phase two.
Phase Two – Interceptor drops out.  When/if the candidate can no longer hide the infidelity, the reasons for prior obfuscation/denial was ‘embarrassment‘.   Phase Two ends with re-entry of spouse to deliver the “we will heal / together” speech.  Surround candidate’s optic with friends and family; or carefully host private one-on-one interview.
Atwater’s legacy continues….

When candidate Donald Trump announced his candidacy to run for President last year we knew immediately there would be a seismic shift in the political landscape.  Those who have followed politics in the last 8+ years suspected the 2016 race would inevitably boil down to Globalists -vs- U.S. Nationalists.

However, with the introduction of Mark Levin’s Conservative Review publishing a target list of those they don’t agree with, we have officially entered the realm of the absurd.  The collective ‘conservative‘ ilk within the punditry class have assembled their fascist blacklist(s) to target their opposition – and it’s not leftists, it’s us.

I doubt there has ever been a time when we have laughed so heartedly.

Too many years decades of Wall Street’s influence over legislative priorities are clearly evident for anyone not to anticipate the professional political class would view any America-First candidate as a threat to their financial motivations.  But to see the apoplectic reactions from those within the corporate conservative media is, well, pure delicious sunlight.

(Via ABC News) In a statement following meetings with Cuban President Raúl Castro in Havana today, President Barack Obama declared it a “new day” in U.S.-Cuban relations.

“For more than half a century, the sight of a U.S. president here in Havana would have been unimaginable. But this is a new day. Es una nueva dia,” Obama said in remarks to reporters at the presidential palace in Cuba.

While celebrating the progress in the relationship, Obama also said that the two countries continue to have important differences and that the U.S. will continue to speak out on the issue of human rights and democracy. (more…)
