In the unlikely event you can’t hear the sound of the Rhinoceros marching on bubble wrap directly behind you, it might be worth while getting a firmer grip on both your ankles:

[…]  “The Senate Democrats have a big enough number to prevent us from doing things. They prevented us from doing any of the bills that appropriate money for the government, thereby forcing a negotiation when we go back in after Labor Day, which I’ll be engaged in with the administration and others to try to sort out how much we’re going to spend and where we’re going to spend it.”  ~ Mitch McConnell

Yes, that’s Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, giving a preview of his “budget plan strategy”.
If you find yourself pausing, well, prior to having the jackbooted foot of a $4 trillion spending proposal rammed into your psyche, and asking yourself why the “Senate” leader and not the House Leader is making such proclamations – you might still be stuck in the old School-House-Rock paradigm of thinking that budgety stuff is actually constructed in the House of Representatives.  (more…)

FOX EXCLUSIVE: At least four classified Hillary Clinton emails had their markings changed to a category that shields the content from Congress and the public, Fox News has learned, in what State Department whistleblowers believed to be an effort to hide the true extent of classified information on the former secretary of state’s server.
The changes, which came to light after the first tranche of 296 Benghazi emails was released in May, was confirmed by two sources — one congressional, the other intelligence. The four emails originally were marked classified after a review by career officials at the State Department. But after a second review by the department’s legal office, the designation was switched to “B5” — also known as “deliberative process,” which refers to internal deliberations by the Executive Branch. Such discussions are exempt from public release.   (more…)

The Mitch McConnell legislative agenda was written for him prior to taking his position as Senate Majority Leader.  The author of the agenda was a group of Wall Street financiers who organize under the construct of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Tom Donohue as CoC President.

Donohue then spends millions through K-Street lobbyists to insure his legislative priorities are maintained.  In the run-up to the 2014 mid-terms Donohue was very specific on what his demands were of the GOPe team, Boehner and McConnell:

♦ Comprehensive Immigration Reform – to include Amnesty for illegal aliens. (link)

♦ Support for full delivery of Federal Common CORE education standards (link)

♦ The full implementation of ObamaCare without adjustment. (link)

♦ Trans Pacific Trade Deal (link) (Currently in negotiations)

So it should come as no surprise to see the hand-out given to the Republican senators by John Thune would specifically call for the GOP to frame the CoC position on these issues in the August recess ‘Town Hall’ meetings. (more…)

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Jeb Bush and most of the establishment republican candidates support Common Core educational standards.   Here’s yet another example of the indoctrination principles inherent therein:

(Via MyNorthwest) Starting in January of 2016, 6-12 grade social studies teachers will have the opportunity to teach from a “Black Lives Matter” textbook that meets Common Core criteria.
“The first chapter opens up with Michael Brown and Ferguson,” says the textbook’s co-author, Macalester College Professor Duchess Harris. “And then we backtrack to do a historical overview of interactions that African Americans have had with police encounters, historically. Then we return to Trayvon Martin and go all the way up to Baltimore.”
Harris, who lives in Minnesota and has already written a book on the civil rights movement, co-wrote the book with a journalist close to the issue. (more…)

TEXAS – An illegal alien is on the run after he was accused of raping a Texas teen.
Police say Jesus Atrian sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl with Down Syndrome in her home in Pearland Monday afternoon.
KHOU reports Atrian is an “illegal alien with a prior adjudication for Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact and is required to register as a Sex Offender.”
There was a warrant out for his arrest at the time of the incident. Police believe he is “attempting to travel to Mexico.”
Atrian has a vertical tattoo under his right eye of the word “Jesus,” another vertical tattoo under his left eye reading “Atrian,” and the name “Adriana” tattooed above his right eyebrow. (more…)

Just in the nick of time.  A federal judge today blocked the Obama administration’s water pollution rule mere hours before it was set to begin implementation.  Under the new EPA/Obama regulations puddles, ditches and all rain accumulation geographies come under the jurisdiction of the EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Any area subject to rain water transit would have to meet strict EPA rules and compliance standards.  Yes, that means your driveway, puddles upon your property, the ditch in front of your house, or the transverse area around your guttered downspouts would be subject to the inspection and authority of the EPA.

WASHINGTON DC – A federal judge in North Dakota acted late Thursday to block the Obama administration’s controversial water pollution rule, hours before it was due to take effect.
Judge Ralph Erickson of the District Court for the District of North Dakota found that the 13 states suing to block the rule met the conditions necessary for a preliminary injunction, including that they would likely be harmed if courts didn’t act and that they are likely to succeed when their underlying lawsuit against the rule is decided.
The decision is a major roadblock for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers, who were planning Friday to begin enforcing the Waters of the United States rule, expanding federal jurisdiction over small waterways like streams and wetlands. (more…)

A message to the RNC, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Jeb Bush, and media water-carriers George Will, Chris Wallace Stephen Hayes, Charles Lane, Megyn Kelly, Charles Krauthammer, and the entire political GOPe team.

Brilliant !

The GOPe alignments begin.  Perhaps faster than would have been anticipated, in large measure because of the success of Donald Trump against the Jeb Bush professional political machine.

A Game of Thrones

Former House Majority leader Eric Cantor will endorse GOPe candidate Jeb Bush today and become co-chair for Jeb’s Virginia team. The alignments within the establishment republican party apparatus become more transparent.

[…]  Cantor is to introduce Bush on Thursday evening at a fundraiser in Richmond and then will appear with him Friday morning at a VFW post in Norfolk, for a town hall focused on veterans issues.  (link)

It’s interesting to note the legacy media (all of them) avoiding any discussion of this endorsement considering Jim Gilmore the former Virginia governor and also a *cough* “candidate” *cough*.  Jeb’s brother Marvin Bush also lives in Virginia, and another GOPe road map “splitter”, Carly Fiorina, also has homestead in the state.
Virginia was recently in the headlines because the RNC/GOPe party apparatus is considering banning any candidate from the ballots who does not swear allegiance to the Republican Party writ large.  (Keep an eye out for anything from Ed Gillespie, who, in reality, holds the largest current RNC political leverage – and has been very quiet).
Cantor’s endorsement, while predictable, is merely evidence of the establishment class displaying their ultimate goal, elect Jeb Bush.  So far, Donald Trump has done an outstanding job of deconstructing their previous GOPe roadmap plans.  However, these guys are exponentially Machiavellian.   (more…)

Anyone who is viewing the battle between Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly as a representative battle of thin-skinned ego is entirely missing the point.

Trump is not just taking on the construct of progressive ideology that has undermined the essence of American exceptionalism, he’s taking on the very selfish foundation they’ve used to sell out our country.   Hell, he’s taking on all the “Decepticons” simultaneously.
In many ways Fox’s Roger Ailes and Republican Mitch McConnell carry the same ideological character trait, deception.  For McConnell his deceptive ways allow him to retain power inside the DC construct.   For Roger Ailes manipulation benefits his media dominance and political interests.  Neither McConnell nor Ailes can actually be trusted.
It all boils down to a very familiar problem.  Would you rather rid yourself of the schemer, manipulator and deceiver who claims to be your friend – and as a consequence face a visible enemy in their stead.  Or do you chose to be associated within the camp of a person you can never fully trust.
