This is a modified and updated repost from an early January ’16 outline which collected data from all of the various Donald Trump interviews, position papers, and historical outlines. Candidate Trump has been speaking about broad U.S. economic issues for decades. Trump approaches the challenges by focusing on “Main Street”, not Wall Street.
For the sake of brevity, I’m going to accept that most readers here are familiar with who funds and directs Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, and in larger more consequential measures, the DC UniParty legislative team in charge of U.S. Policy, ie. Wall street.
During the January 2016 South Carolina debate, and in response to Trump pointing out a necessary shift in trade position (a shift to put American interests first – a shift to stop the dependency on cheap import goods – a shift to use China’s dependency on access to our market to OUR advantage), Jeb Bush came back with an example of Boeing manufacturing.

Donald Trump, responded to Jeb’s Boeing example, and pointed out China is forcing Boeing to open a manufacturing plant in China. As would be typical from a candidate who is unfamiliar and poorly briefed on the issue, Jeb Bush looked back incredulously and said:

“C’mon man”…

There we saw it.
Right there was the disconnect.
However, almost everyone missed it.
There, in that exact moment, was the spotlight upon all that is wrong with a professional political class; globalists dependent on Wall Street best interest for their talking points.
Donald Trump was 100% correct.
But the issue is bigger.

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 †

Earlier we shared that Michael Steven Sandford (*note* could be alias) had been planning to assassinate Donald Trump for over a year after arrival from the United Kingdom, and driving across the country.  However, as an outcome of his court appearance today we discover he was also in the United States illegally:

LAS VEGAS  –  The man facing charges for attempting to grab a police officer’s gun so he could allegedly shoot candidate Donald Trump is in the United States illegally.
He had overstayed his visa from the United Kingdom.  That information came out during his arraignment at U.S. District Court Monday afternoon. (more…)

Andrew Breitbart put it best in 2012 when he delivered a resounding speech at CPAC.  No one amid our circle of affiliation supported Mitt Romney in the primary race of 2012.  None of us did; and the Conservative Tree House most certainly did not.
However, Mitt Romney won.   Romney destroyed his campaign opposition and used unrelenting negative attack ad fire against Newt Gingrich in Florida to finish off the closest competition he faced.   None of us were happy about Romney.  NONE OF US.

In the final analysis there are only two sides. The alternative to supporting Romney was to support the reelection of President Obama.  So we swallowed our pride, put on our boots and went to work to help Romney where we could. (more…)

This is the second specific assassination attempt on the life of Donald Trump.  If various ideological people were attempting to kill Hillary Clinton this would be leading the news coverage 24/7 with background stories on every aspect of the assassin’s life and family. 
Unfortunately, the visibility of assassination attempts against Donald Trump do not benefit the media leftist narrative.  According to the Associated Press report:
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer’s gun so he could kill the candidate, according to federal authorities.

A complaint [full embedded pdf below] filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds. He’s expected to appear in court on Monday afternoon.
Authorities said Sandford went to a Trump rally on Saturday at the Treasure Island Casino and approached a Las Vegas police officer to say he wanted an autograph from Trump. The report says Sandford grabbed the handle of an officer’s gun in an attempt to remove it, and was arrested. (more…)

Obviously the MSM are jumping on the “division in the ranks” bandwagon in an effort to undermine the threat to their circle of influence represented by the candidacy of Donald Trump. –NYT ARTICLE HERE – CNN ARTICLE HERE –
Important To Note: There is no official campaign media/press release:

“The Donald J. Trump Campaign for President, which has set a historic record in the Republican primary having received almost 14 million votes, has today announced that Corey Lewandowski will no longer be working with the campaign. The campaign is grateful to Corey for his hard work and dedication and we wish him the best in the future.”
~ Hope Hicks (campaign spokeswoman)

A few stunning aspects stick out from the carefully released partial and redacted transcript from the Orlando terrorist attack.  The manner of release affirms the earlier outlines and concerns surrounding AG Loretta Lynch and the Obama Administration:

• First – this release proves law enforcement, the FBI and the Obama administration knew the motive and intent was Islamic terrorism from the very first second contact was made.  When LEO stepped up to the first media press conference they knew it was an Islamic terrorist attack.
• Second – this release confirms allegiance with ISIS proclaimed in the specific manner that is required by the Islamic State in order to be given ideological and financial credit by ISIS.  [Which compounds the concern for why the Obama administration would release it].
• Third – the manipulation of the transcript by the Obama administration is sickening, replacing the word “Allah” with the word “God”.  As Pam Gellar states:  “Not only did Obama’s sharia compliant Department of Justice censor Islam and the Islamic State from Orlando jihadi Omar Mateen’s 911 call transcripts, they changed Allah to god as if we worship the same diety. And this was done in the name of every religion“.

Listed below is a comparative graph, (from FEC records), showing the number of people on the campaign payrolls of: Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump over the past thirteen months:

Obviously there are a few interpretations possible for what this data signifies. However, two of the more obvious points would be: (more…)
