If, if, if, if… only Trump had a magic wand or something… well, then the, the, the, the…. the Okie doke Trump brand would be “skyrocketing“:

WASHINGTON DC – Contrary to reports that shoppers are avoiding the first daughter’s fashion line to protest her father’s policies, the president of the company says recent sales are among the best in the brand’s history.
Abigail Klem, a former lawyer who has worked at Ivanka Trump HQ since 2013 and took over the role of company president in January, insisted that the brand has experienced a major boost.
“Since the beginning of February, they were some of the best performing weeks in the history of the brand,” explained Klem to Refinery29.com. “For several different retailers Ivanka Trump was a top performer online, and in some of the categories it was the [brand’s] best performance ever.”

For an administration that would parse every word and phrase used by their political opposition to infer a narrative of violence, the alarming message within this call to action released today, by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, is quite stunning.

.
For those who would defend this I would simply suggest to reverse the agent of delivery. Keep the words exactly the same but transpose current Attorney General Jeff Sessions as the messenger; and now what do you think the media would claim was the intent of the message?

There is a very disturbing story out of Missouri where a University of Missouri Kansas City (UMKC) student was raped in her dorm room by an illegal alien, and later re-victimized by the media and University who are covering up the crime and the suspect’s illegal status.

The 22-year-old suspect, Juan Contreras, is seen on CCTV actually carrying an unconscious female student passed a security desk which is supposed to be staffed 24/7 by the university.   Contreras then raped the student repeatedly in her dorm room all night. The University has provided no explanation as to how a rapist was allowed to simply walk by their security desk.   (more…)

As Gruber famously said: “we rely upon the stupidity of the American voter“, he was talking about administration and legislative lies for ObamaCare.
In the latest MSM round of let’s undermine President Trump with his supporters, immigration version 3.0, (not coincidentally following the aggregate assembly of the MSM praetorian guard at the White House today), and simultaneously create a self-fulfilling  prophecy effort – the media are back off to the races selling a Trump immigration position capitulation effort.
…. and, once again, the media’s success is dependent on the stupidity of the American voter.

Look Familiar?

…”Hey, I’ve got an idea.  We were thinking”…

There’s nothing, not a single thing, of substance to back up the eleventieth time the media have created this immigration capitulation narrative other than the exact same stuff, their stuff, they used the last umpteen times.

(Via TVLine) […]  ABC’s presentation of the 89th annual Academy Awards delivered 32.9 million total viewers and a 9.1 demo rating, down 4 and 13 percent from last year’s Chris Rock-hosted outing, which recorded eight-year lows.

You’d have to go back to 2008’s Jon Stewart-hosted Oscars, where No Country for Old Men won best Picture, to find a smaller audience (32 million).  (read more)

Today in Atlanta 435 members of the Democrat National Committee will meet to vote on the next Chairperson for the DNC.  The two top candidates are Representative Keith Ellison and former Labor Secretary Tom Perez.  Watch Live Voting Here

**UPDATE** Tom Perez wins !!!

The DNC Party Machine has won again.  Keith Ellison has been defeated by Tom Perez for DNC Chairman.  After a day of shenanigans, electronic voting dropped in preference of paper ballots and back-room deals, the professional party apparatus has crushed the pesky insurgents.
As a consolation to the activists, after victory Chairman Perez asked for a suspension of the rules and voice nominated Keith Ellison for Deputy Chair.  The DNC voted affirmatively in that regard.   Tom Perez is Chairman and Keith Ellison is Deputy Chair.

Perhaps the best soundbite of the day comes from Steve Bannon answering a question about whether the administration perceives the future having a better or worse relationship with the Mostly Swamp Media.  WATCH:

As CTH has stated since the fall of 2015 – because the MSM is structurally built to synergize with a globally progressive worldview, they will never accept a nationalist perspective from any U.S. President.
Nationalism is simply antithetical to their interests.

We’ll look for expanded video of the visits today by Secretary Kelly and Secretary Tillerson to Mexico and South America.  In the interim thanks to DaveNYviii for this segment of a press conference in Guatemala.
Woo doggies,…. DHS Secretary General John Kelly drops an absolute truth bomb in a joint press conference earlier today.  Speaking with Interior Minister Francisco Rivas the severity of Secretary Kelly’s words are a stunning reflection of the change in approach.
Minister Rivas’s jaw was visibly quivering as every frightened synapse went simultaneously into apoplectic shock mode.  [Pinch me, I’m in heaven.]
Must watch. No, really… MUST WATCH:

Guatemala City (AFP) – US plans to deport millions of Central American migrants and regional security issues dominated US Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly’s visit to Guatemala on Wednesday, his Guatemalan counterpart said.
Interior Minister Francisco Rivas said he and Kelly discussed those issues after the US official, who arrived late Tuesday, held private talks with Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales.

A “non-media” Harvard-Harris poll of 2,148 registered voters, provided exclusively to The Hill (who refuse to publish the raw data – go figure), finds overwhelming support for President Trump’s immigration proposals.

There are multiple stunning aspects to the survey, including the D+9 poll sample that is entirely disconnected from the 2016 election results and voter registration records.

[…]  2,148 registered voters was conducted between Feb. 11 and 13. The partisan breakdown is 39 percent Democrat, 30 percent Republican, 27 percent independent. –link–

Actual 2017 national voter registration data:

• 28% Republican
• 25% Democrat
• 44% Independent.

Additionally, The survey refutes the preferred media narrative so substantively the graphics team had to work overtime to downplay the results.    So let’s skip the graphics and just look at the key takeaways: (more…)

Today Milo Yiannopoulos resigned from Breitbart News after a video surfaced where he appeared to defend pedophilia, sparking outcry among liberals and conservatives alike.

“I would be wrong to allow my poor choice of words to detract from my colleagues’ important reporting, so today I am resigning from Breitbart, effective immediately. This decision is mine alone.”
