It appears that yet again CNN can’t help showcasing themselves as rabid violent left-wing ideologues.  During a hot-mic segment on the afternoon show with Brooke Baldwin a CNN producer was setting up a live remote broadcast with correspondent Suzanne Malveaux.
During the set-up, the producer was heard discussing various hand signals with Malveaux: “That means his plane’s crashed — just kidding,” the producer said, prompting a giggle and stunned face from Malveaux. (Video 01:28):

“An unfortunate and inappropriate remark was made by one of our producers off camera yesterday. We have apologized to the Trump transition team, and the producer has been disciplined.”  (link)

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

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Trump/Pence presidential victory.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Tonight Sean Hannity was in Cincinnati Ohio attending the Donald Trump rally. Prior to the rally Hannity interviewed President-elect Donald Trump, Vice-President-elect Mike Pence, and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. Three great interviews below:
First, President-elect Donald Trump:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Media reports of Agustin Carstens resignation as chief of Mexico’s central bank have left MSM pundits and even business analysts scratching their heads. It appears no-one has any idea why Carstens is leaving… well, almost no-one.

The non-discussed story is the hidden story that has been visible yet kept quiet for over five years. In essence, what Carstens knows, and what only Carstens knows, is the scope and scale of Mexico’s economic (central finance bank) dependency on the outflow of dollars, hidden U.S. money.
Early this year, it was discussed –for the first time– that effective in 2015 Mexican Remittances exceeded the scale and scope of Mexico’s entire oil and energy export sector. The single-year guesstimate was approximately $25 billion. (more…)
