Governor Rick Perry appeared on the insufferable CNN Jake Tapper show earlier today.  Of course what would the CNN propaganda be worth if Tapper didn’t immediately begin by targeting Perry to defend the “faux-controversial” comments about Khizr Khan…. etc.

However, things didn’t exactly go as planned.  Please note the first response from Tapper at 00:46 “well, well, I don’t think anyone is saying he shouldn’t be criticized“… Watch:

Tapper:  “well, well, I don’t think anyone is saying he shouldn’t be criticized”…

Perry: “well, then what’s the conversation then”?…

Exactly.  If no-one is saying Khan can’t be criticized, then what’s the controversy?  The entire manufactured controversy centered around any criticism of Khizr Khan being ‘out-of-bounds’.

Epic.  Common Sense.

Tapper Haz ‘Splodey.

Today Hillary Clinton remains campaigning in Pennsylvania.  Yesterday Vice President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton campaigned in Scranton, a few hundred people showed up.

Today, Hillary held a voter registration campaign event in a High School gym in West Philadelphia – the attendance/turnout was essentially the same.

What’s going on?

Where are all these Clinton supporters the national media keep polling and talking about?

The answers are really quite simple.  They’re in the same place they were during the 2016 Democrat primary race. (more…)

CNN manipulation of “news” is not anything new, there’s entire memes generated by the false and misleading reporting that stems from the propaganda machine. However, even for CNN this one is a step too far.

Reporting on the Milwaukee violence, riots and protests CNN producer Ana Cabrera files a report claiming the sister of Sylville Smith, the armed man shot by police during a chase, was “calling for peace”.

However, CNN conveniently cut out the rest of Sherelle Smith’s message, where she was actually calling for rioting protesters to go and “burn down the suburbs”. (more…)

A Pennsylvania Jury found Democrat Attorney General Kathleen Kane guilty on nine criminal counts last night including conspiracy and perjury.  Elected to office in 2014, found guilty of criminal conspiracy in 2016:

(Via New York Times) […]  Ms. Kane stared straight ahead as the word “guilty,” uttered decisively by a juror in a flowered dress, echoed nine times around the courtroom. The lawyers immediately went into a private conference with the judge, leaving Ms. Kane, who campaigned on a promise to uncover political interference in Pennsylvania, alone at the defense table.

And when Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy returned to the courtroom, she turned directly to Ms. Kane with a stern warning, her words slicing through the silence.

“There is to be absolutely no retaliation of any kind against any witness in this case, either by your own devices, from your own mouth or your hand, or directing anybody to do anything,” the judge said. She threatened Ms. Kane, who is currently free on bail, with immediate incarceration if she failed to comply. (more…)

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 Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

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

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 †

I’m going through the transcript and video now and will be expanding on the overall speech in a subsequent and substantive post.  However, a quick few notations are in order.

Candidate Donald Trump’s specific speech today was a rebuke to the 2009 speech of President Obama made in Cairo Egypt.  Don’t let the media ignoring that aspect fall silently past you, it’s critical.

The 2009 Cairo Speech by President Obama, his “Mid-east Obama Doctrine”, was the detonation tool, the exact epicenter, for the explosion that created the “Arab Spring”.  Go back and refresh your memory if needed.  It was a specific moment in time. It was a specifically worded ideological speech, and it held specific goals and intentions.

The media will now go into overdrive to protect President Obama from the bigger truth which can come out as a result of this enlarged conversation.   It was President Obama who gave rise to the “Arab Spring”.  You can guarantee the media will go nuts trying to avoid that reality. Watch…

There appears to be a great deal of angst and anxiety surrounding the 2016 Presidential race that is genuinely unnecessary. When you know the playbook, when you know what’s predictably going to happen, there’s no reason to be upset when each tripwire is triggered.

The only time concern is truly warranted, is when one of the tripwires are not triggered. The mosquitoes that buzz, don’t bite – they’re just annoying.

Having said that, and having previously outlined the playbook for most of the 2016 election previously, let’s take a closer look at what is on the horizon.

However, before outlining the predictable, it is important to remember: almost all of the professional political punditry already know this stuff – they’re just acting as if they believe the political Potemkin village is real to retain a paycheck.

Back in 2015, when several readers still genuinely believed the Potemkin village was real, we tackled the question of:  what would happen if the financial class, the donors who fund the political pantomime, saw Donald Trump as an inevitable candidate?

What we shared over a year ago remains today: (more…)
