You know you’re directly over the target when the insufferable U.S. media drag out ‘gang-of-eight’ Senator Jeff Flake as flack and chaffe countermeasures to Donald Trump’s immigration plan. So entirely predictable…
CNN’s Jake Tapper starts it off:
Soon-to-be presidential moderator, ABC’s Martha Raddatz, interviews Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway for Good Morning America.
As a direct outcome of Donald Trump’s success in discussions with democrats core constituency, the media is in apoplectic defense mode to protect Hillary Clinton while ignoring her campaign invisibility. Enter Chuck Todd and Meet The Press:
If, like me, you haven’t been keeping up with the escalating crisis in Venezuela, you might be surprised at the scope of the protests in the past few days.
With massive food shortages still ongoing as a result of the economic crisis created by Nicholas Maduro policy, millions of people are now taking to the streets of the capital city of Caracus; and even chasing Maduro out of small towns and villages.
(Via ABC) Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro reportedly was greeted by angry pot-banging protesters during a visit to Margarita Island.
Grainy cellphone videos said to be from the Friday night encounter were picked up by Venezuelan news sites and were trending on social media. The socialist leader is seen jogging through a crowd as residents loudly bang on pots and hurl obscenities.
His visit to Margarita Island earlier Friday evening was broadcast nationwide. Images of the protest were later posted by residents of the town where it reportedly occurred. (link)

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 †
Trump is on Fire!
His campaign is En Fuego!
The Phoenix Rally was hot, hot, HOT! Blazing!
And so is Bluto…man, I’m burning up. Two days out in the Arizona desert sun? In the Summer!? Yep, pass the Gatorade, this chill Mountain Man has been feeling the heat. So please excuse me for a moment, I need to start this piece with a little refreshing splash of something cool. I think I need a little water thrown on my face before I can continue.
Have you ever been on one of those crazy “River Rides” at an amusement park like Disneyland? So much fun! They buckle you into a large, circular raft with multiple seats. Enough seats on this raft, that you’re sure to be floating around with complete strangers, people only known to you as “that annoying guy standing ahead of me in line”. Fine. That’s Cool. Stranger Dude is also here to have fun, so let’s go together!
So here we all are, strangers & family members, riding on this big, spinning raft. Slowly going up, then crashing down into the water, again & again. Sometimes when you least expect it, just the smallest ebb of water suddenly rises up and you get totally soaked. Then at other times you’re bracing yourself as you see a roaring waterfall appear in your path, only to stop flowing the moment you arrive under it. (more…)
The Clinton News Network was discussing the latest FBI reports of Hillary Clinton’s email scheme, when apparently the truth became just too much for Brooke Baldwin to bear… “stop, just stop” she decried, moments before demanding an immediate “on-the-fly fact check”.
The result didn’t quite go the way Brooke Baldwin had programed herself to believe. Epic ‘Splodey.. WATCH:
During a visit to Detroit today candidate Donald Trump was blessed and given a prayer shawl by Bishop Wayne T. Jackson. However, as Bishop Jackson continued his remarks the operators of the Reuters news feed began speaking uncomfortably about the power of the positive optics for the Trump campaign – Via YouTube.
It appears the camera operator was initially reluctant to cut the feed saying:
“I’m shooting this, I don’t care what they say,… I’ll take a demotion for this…. you?”
Moments later you can hear the intensity of the voice off camera increasing: “Shut it down” followed by the a voice asking “shut this down?” and the response “yeah”… “blackout“. Seconds later in the middle of Bishop Jackson’s remarks the feed is cut:
Candidate Donald Trump delivered remarks this morning at Great Faith Ministries International, a historically black church in Detroit, MI. Mr. Trump was blessed and given a prayer shawl by Bishop Wayne T. Jackson:
