• Why did CNN specifically broadcast the Congressional Black Caucus dinner in Washington DC yesterday?
• Why did President Obama and Hillary Clinton make the decision to attack Donald Trump at this dinner?
• Why did Hillary Clinton’s campaign make a specific decision to resurrect the worn out Obama birtherism narrative?
• Why did Pastor Faith Timmons plan to ambush candidate Donald Trump during a speech in Flint Michigan?

The reason for those and many more obvious racial political strategies can be found within the following report: “Black voters are turning from Clinton to Trump in new poll”

[…]  Donald Trump is gaining support among African-American voters — whose enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton is eroding, a tracking poll released Saturday revealed.

Trump saw a 16.5 percentage-point increase in backing from African-American voters in a Los Angeles Times/University of Southern California tracking poll, up from 3.1 percent on Sept. 10 to 19.6 percent through Friday.

In under a minute you can see/hear an audio visual demonstration showing why the vast majority of Americans just laugh at journalists in the 2016 presidential campaign.

A well sedated Secretary Clinton begins her remarks (00:28) by saying:

“I’ve been briefed about the bombings in New York and New Jersey, as well as the attack in Minnesota”…

Note the emphasis: “briefed about the bombings“.
However, seemingly oblivious to the fact Secretary Clinton just said “bombings“, Hillary’s traveling press pool asks the very first question 40 seconds later (01:08) which was:

“Do you have any reaction to the fact that Donald Trump, prior to taking the stage tonight, called the explosion tonight a bomb, and if that’s an appropriate term”?

Stunning is an understatement.  This is beyond absurd.  There has been a tenuous cease-fire in Syria for the past 4 days, negotiated by Russia, between Bashir Assad’s Syrian Army and the militant fighters in the Islamic State (ISIS).
Today, the United States has broken the cease-fire; not Syria, not ISIS – the U.S. broke the cease-fire, and actually attacked Syrian ground troops.   U.S. Centcom commanders are now admitting they made a “mistake”.
A mistake?  …that accidentally assists ISIS.
(Via Fox News) The U.S. military halted an air raid against the Islamic State terror group in eastern Syria on Saturday after learning it struck a Syrian military unit by mistake, a U.S. Central Command official confirmed to Fox News.
The official said the U.S. military was “certain” about the outcome of the strike. Officials had been watching these forces “for a few days” thinking they were ISIS.
Syria and Russia said the U.S.-led coalition had struck a Syrian military base in Deir el-Zour that was surrounded by ISIS fighters, enabling them to advance. The U.S. is not known to have directly struck Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces at any point during the five-year civil war. (more…)

Things just got worse for the professional fibbers within Hillary Clinton’s campaign as the former McClatchy Washington Bureau Chief, James Asher, outlines how Hillary Clinton’s two closest aides, including Sidney Blumenthal, convinced the outlet to send reporters to Kenya to investigate the Obama “birther” controversy.

(Via McClatchy) […]  “During the 2008 Democratic primary, Sid Blumenthal visited the Washington Bureau of McClatchy Co.,” Asher said in an email Friday to McClatchy, noting that he was at the time the investigative editor and in charge of Africa coverage.
“During that meeting, Mr. Blumenthal and I met together in my office and he strongly urged me to investigate the exact place of President Obama’s birth, which he suggested was in Kenya. We assigned a reporter to go to Kenya, and that reporter determined that the allegation was false. (more…)

The media was/is so invested in protecting Hillary Clinton – they have dispatched provable empirical facts in order to drive a demonstrably false narrative.
There is so much evidence the Clinton campaign began the “birther” narrative against candidate Obama, it is beyond absurd to claim differently.
In short, the media are destroying themselves in epic fashion.
Former Clinton Campaign Manager Patti Solis Doyle admitted today on CNN a Clinton campaign worker originated the story about Obama:

The campaign team of Donald Trump noted and drew attention to the Doyle admission, and outlined further evidence in a media statement.

This is a really important interview to grasp the scope of the America-First economic challenge in front of Donald Trump and specifically U.S. workers.  Unfortunately, what follows below is the best version of the interview we can find and it has edits, significant edits by CNN, to the initial portion of the interview as it originally aired.
For those unfamiliar with how structured these types of interviews are, there are a few key aspects worth noting in advance of watching the video:

♦ CEO Mark Fields is not alone in this interview.  Off camera there are key corporate executive advisers, PR, Marketing, HR, Risk Mgmt., etc. positioned to give immediate feedback toward any sound bites that can have an adverse impact on the corporate objectives.  There’s a few times when you can see Fields taking cues from those voices.
♦ The CEO corporate culture (starts in MBA school) teaches executives how to use code words and phrases to avoid pitfalls, and unless you are skilled -or familiar- in detecting the nuance, much of the significant verbiage can be missed.  Words and phrases matter.
There’s a big difference between a major corporate CEO saying “investment in North America“, and “investment in America“.  The former references international trade agreements such as NAFTA which apply to Mexico the U.S. and Canada, the latter is directed to the United States.  Pay close attention and you’ll note the importance.

Sometimes you just have to laugh.   However, it really sucks to be Gary Johnson right now.
Poll after poll is showing presidential candidate Gary Johnson in the race hurts Hillary Clinton more than Donald Trump.  And you know what that means?
Yup, time for the MSM to wage a thermonuclear media operation against the guy.

If only Gary Johnson was hurting Donald Trump instead of Hillary Clinton the media would have brushed the flub under the rug.   Alas…

Earlier today CNN’s Chris Cuomo interviewed Corey Lewandowski (Trump) and Christine Quinn (Clinton) to get each campaigns perspective on current discussions of U.S. foreign policy and military use (video after background).
Notice how no-one, unfortunately even Lewandowski, references President Obama specifically selecting General John Allen in 2014 to lead the White House coordinated campaign against ISIS.

Flashback Sept 11th 2014 – U.S. officials told the Associated Press on Thursday that retired Marine Lieutenant General John Allen will coordinate the broad international effort to battle the self-declared Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), as nations begin to determine what part they will play. (more)

The appointing of General Allen specifically followed an alarming admission by President Obama himself, on August 28th 2014, that the White House had no strategy to defeat ISIS. Watch this to refresh:

Here is the transcript from today’s Donald Trump campaign event in Greensville, North Carolina. In Donald Trump’s speech tonight he hit upon the key element:

This speech is intensely critical.  Take your time to comprehend it slowly.  I’ve highlighted a key paragraph that just astounded me when I heard it….
[ TRANSCRIPT ] Thank you. It’s great to be back in North Carolina.
In 62 days, we are going to win this state – and we are going to win the White House.
This is our chance to end years of injustice, corruption and betrayal.
This is our chance to solve all of the problems that have gone unsolved for so many years.
For how long have people been saying Washington is broken and controlled by special interests?
This is the year we can finally fix it.
That’s because change has to come from outside of our broken and corrupt system.
We will never fix our rigged system by relying on the people who rigged it in the first place.
We will never solve our problems by relying on the politicians who created our problems.

“Electronic Soup Cards”

That term, “electronic soup cards“, is simply brilliant.  It is powerfully brilliant because it is entirely correct.
As a person who searches for simple word assemblies to covey significant issues, I must admit that concise terminology is the best turn of words I’ve heard in years.

Factually, if the number of American people on EBT or SNAP welfare benefits had to line up for soup and meals (instead of just get money on an electronic card for use anywhere), there would be massive lines, miles-long lines, all day and all night in hundreds of thousands of soup kitchens nation-wide.   Such visibility would make the soup lines of the great depression seem insignificant by comparison.
The EBT and SNAP cards are exactly that, “Electronic Soup Cards”.
