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 †
Unfortunately when the wider U.S. electorate voted the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers to be the president of the United States they were, perhaps unwittingly, ushering in a new era of fundamental change, governmental weaponization.
Events and outcomes ceased to be determined by laws, and the politics of any given event became the overriding filter through which all action, or lack thereof, would be determined. The last seven years have provided numerous examples for points of reference.
The IRS investigation of conservative groups was driven by politics, not legality. The investigation of officer Darren Wilson was driven by politics, not evidence or legality. The arrests of the Baltimore Six were driven by politics, not factual, substantial evidence. The FBI decision not to recommend an indictment of Hillary Clinton was driven by politics not evidence.
These are just a few examples of manipulated common law principles that have been overridden by considerations of political benefits. The law is what they say it is, and everything is open to interpretation. The rules are what they say they are, and subject to change at any opportune moment.
2016 is an election year.
Last night an officer involved shooting of an armed habitual offender led to riots, looting, arson and violence in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Nothing cries out for justice like a stolen set of hair weaves. Unfortunately, Milwaukee is on the list as one the the top 10 cities with hidden racial violence and local media frozen with political correctness.
Today, fearing another night of chaos, violence and mayhem, Governor Scott Walker has activated the national guard. Fortunately, the officer involved was also black.
UPDATE: Milwaukee police officer who fatally shot armed suspect is black. More to come.

WISCONSIN – Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has declared a state of emergency in Milwaukee County and has activated the National Guard in response to the Milwaukee riots last night.
The shooting of a 23-year-old ignited some tensions and led to rioting last night. One officer was hit with a brick, one squad car was trashed, and another squad car and several business were set on fire. (more…)
After a week of campaign stops with larger crowds than the Democrat presidential candidate, Governor Mike Pence was interviewed by Chris “Clinton” Wallace for Fox News Sunday:
Jake Tapper is 2016’s version of George Stephanopoulos in 2012. Earlier in the week Tapper completely fabricated a story about the Secret Service contacting the Trump campaign. He continues today trying to manufacture controversy.
Louisiana has been experiencing historic flooding after several days of rain resulting from a stationary low pressure area. The following footage from yesterday shows a dramatic citizen rescue:

God Bless.

Obviously the context of polling and bias are key components within discussions of presidential elections and politics. At this point there’s virtually no-one who would dispute the inherent media bias against candidate Donald Trump.
Cue the CNN audio/visual (Screen Shot) demonstration of the day:
Donald Trump has used the “Heritage Foundation” as part of the think tank behind the possible Supreme Court nominee list he has outlined. But look at how CNN parses the wording, creates a completely false and divisive narrative, to make it look like Trump is using ethnicity as a factor. Ridiculous and beyond insufferable nonsense.
However, when you discuss the accepted media bias (example above) against the backdrop of those same media entities presenting poll data, the accuracy of polling becomes a more complex and nuanced discussion. That’s where social media engagement enters into the mix.
