Wow.  Earlier this morning House Speaker Paul Ryan announced his confidence that a $1.1 TRILLION Omnibus spending bill will pass prior to December 11th – See Here.

Now word comes of a ‘Five-Year’ Highway Spending deal just North of $300 billion – Here’s the bill pdf ( <– warning 1,300+ pages):

WASHINGTON DC – Lawmakers are on track to clear a massive transportation infrastructure bill as soon as this week, a legislative coup a decade in the making that will give new House Speaker Paul Ryan something to crow about.

Negotiators from both chambers of Congress tasked with hashing out a final deal are set to announce an agreement Tuesday afternoon after a majority of conferees signed off on the package, setting the stage for the mammoth deal to move through the House and Senate this week, ahead of this Friday’s deadline. As expected, the bill also includes a provision to revive the Export-Import Bank, an export-promoting agency that expired last summer amid attacks from conservatives who said it provides corporate welfare and promotes crony capitalism.

Oh, how it pains the GOPe to see their plans gone asunder.   In a transparent play to keep Carson viable, and with the increased sunlight outlining the evidence of a campaign with social media presence only, Karl Rove steps in to give the Carson quick-assist…

It is glaringly obvious how much the cocktail class GOPe think the base of the conservative movement is stupid.  The republican party apparatus genuinely believe that people don’t know what their intents and purposes are.  Insufferable, yet simultaneously quite funny.

(Via Bloomberg)  Republican strategist Karl Rove helped set up a meeting between top fundraisers for Ben Carson and casino mogul Steve Wynn.

Rove confirmed to Bloomberg Politics that he acted as the go-between for the Carson camp and Wynn, a sometimes business competitor of Donald Trump, the rival Carson has been batting all fall for the Republican nomination.

“I introduced them but I don’t know anything further about that,” said Rove, who added that he did not attend the meeting. (more…)

¹Paul Ryan is ²protecting it.  Wall Street (CoC) investing millions ³to keep in place.

The 2010 SCOTUS ‘Citizens United’ decision injected unlimited financial funding into politics via Super-PACs.  Conservatives were screwed, but it took most a long time to come to the awakening.  As a direct result the broader electorate was non longer needed for financial support – evidenced in the 2012 and 2014 campaign spending cycles.

More specifically this unlimited Wall Street spending influence is the root cause of several current presidential candidates remaining in the race. 

Without Super-PACs funded by Hedge Funds, Billionaire Globalists, and self-interested corporations: Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee, Jim Gilmore and George Pataki would not currently be in the race.

Similarly, Jeb Bush would be soon to exit, and either Ben Carson or Ted Cruz, but not both, would be candidates.

Now Mitch McConnell is moving to put the GOPe Party back into direct control via a new proposal to remove campaign limits and allow Wall Street to fund Republicans directly without going through SuperPacs.

The basic problem is the removal of financial dependency by the electorate they are supposed to represent.  The voter influence has already been replaced (Citizens United), the consideration now is who gets to be the arbiter/broker of the financial power.   (more…)

Drawing attention to the Boston Globe Poll released today (full pdf below) more because of the internals, than the top-line results.   500 people polled – the top line results are in the graphic below:

However, going through the poll internals you will find this is a very good overall poll when widened against a much broader national electorate and the inherent political discussions therein.

Top Three Concerns of the electorate: (more…)

The ground effort to destroy Donald Trump begins today in Ohio where several GOPe operatives and advance teams have been positioned to drum up antagonistic protesters and coordinate activity aimed to target Trump.

In addition Matt David, the spokesperson for the Kasich Super-PAC “New Day for America”, is now publicly reporting that both Team Bush and Team Rubio donors have pledged financial support to the effort to tear down front runner Donald Trump.

The upper echelons within the Wall Street financially-dependent corporate media have also held their meeting to coordinate how they will distribute and promote the anti-Trump narrative.

Most of the self-interests within the republican side of the professional political establishment have now united:  Wall Street (financiers), Ground Troops (via campaign teams), and Corporate Media (messaging/optics).

Tonight, as incredulous as it sounds, Professional Republicans begin a full month long assault upon the front runner of their own party.  (more…)

The latest fear mongering approach from the Globalist GOPe advocates (progressive republicans) is to claim they need to attack Donald Trump because he cannot beat Hillary Clinton. This claim is a total sham intended to hide their ulterior motives and here’s why.

First to the substance of the claims – In poll after poll of head-to-head match-ups Donald Trump clearly beats Hillary here are recent examples: (more…)

OK folks, we knew it was coming – We knew the GOPe would eventually unleash the Republican “Mississippi Strategy” to attack Donald Trump, and it appears they have announced their intents using the NDfA Super-PAC as their vehicle.

Game ON !

Take Notice all ye of NDfA association – we will identify you, your businesses, your business interests, etc. and we will outline your attachments.  You may have money, but there are more of us than you.  To quote a prior adversary:

…”The one thing I will tell you is you don’t want those damn Tree House people up your ass!”…

(Via Politico) John Kasich has attacked Donald Trump relentlessly in debates and now his super PAC is planning to invest $2.5 million in the most aggressive takedown of the poll leader yet — on behalf of an increasingly anxious GOP establishment.

The attack, according to a blueprint shared with POLITICO, will play out over the next two months on radio, TV, mail and online in New Hampshire. Strategists with the pro-Kasich group, called New Day for America, say the budget for the anti-Trump campaign is likely to grow.

The offensive comes as some in the GOP are beginning to plot how to combat the real estate mogul and entertainer, who many are convinced would essentially deliver the White House to Democrats if he were the nominee. In launching the effort, the group hopes to position Kasich, who has lagged in the Republican contest and is searching for momentum, as a central Trump antagonist.

“We will be the tip of the spear against Trump,” said Matt David, a spokesman for the super PAC. (more…)

A large sample national poll conducted by IPSOS for Reuters (full pdf below) reflects an increasingly obvious reality – Donald Trump is the dominant candidate with a vast and growing support base.

Significantly, the data also shows: five times as many independent voters choose Donald Trump over Marco Rubio and/or Ted Cruz.

Political followers have noticed GOPe strategy modified and they stopped attacking Trump directly.  Instead they shifted their marginalization approach by trying to attach Trump to candidate Ted Cruz.

Every effort by Team Trump should be made to keep Ted Cruz at arms length.  We have previously outlined the reason(s) why Cruz’s electoral strategy is doomed to defeat.  There is no winning electoral map within the campaign strategy of Ted Cruz which is based on a very narrow slice of the electorate.  (more…)

Under the Paul Ryan approved bill -American Security Against Foreign Enemies (SAFE) Act of 2015– the FBI director would be required to certify the background investigation of each refugee from Iraq and Syria.  And only refugees from Iraq and Syria.  And if you are Syrian and you walk into Turkey to begin applying for refugee status, presto, the bill doesn’t cover you.

The SAFE ACT requires the FBI, along with the secretary of Homeland Security and the director of National Intelligence, to certify to Congress that each refugee is not a security threat. The legislation also requires the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General’s Office to independently assess the refugee approvals.

However, the bill is largely meaningless and well beyond toothless. Senator Sessions (R-AL) noted refugees and migrants from nine different countries have been implicated in terrorism incidents over the past year.  “Ignoring this reality, the American SAFE Act allows the president to continue to bring in as many refugees as he wants from anywhere in the world,” Sessions said previously. 

Perhaps the SAFE ACT would be better named the Kerry/Taylor You’ve Got A Friend Act.  However, pay close attention to the GOP representatives who are “out front” selling the ruse.  Pay attention to them, and pay attention to who they are endorsing:
