Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton held events at the University of New Hampshire this past weekend.  Hillary’s crowd was around 300-350; two days later Bernie Sanders held his event in the same venue drawing 3,000+

This really doesn’t come as a surprise because prior polling indicated that Sanders had taken a substantial lead in New Hampshire.
But the story goes beyond Bernie Sanders drawing a crowd ten times the size of Hillary Clinton.   (more…)

Update – Post publication it’s pointed out the date on the NR article is 2014.  However, the date of the RNC rule meetings (pdf below) we gained was 2015. The original NR article written based on RNC meeting of January ’14.

A National Review article containing what we have been outlining and discussing for several months.  Rules instituted to BLOCK CONSERVATIVES, favor the party apparatus, and create a road map for the GOPe chosen candidate, JEB BUSH.
Allow me a moment to confirm the brutally obvious.

Were it not for Donald Trump – and supporters who are no longer willing to be co-dependents to their own diminishment, finding a pathway to defeat the RNC scheme – the GOPe road map to nominate Jeb would be successful.

At the bottom of the article we will once again put the pdf formats of the rule changes into place. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
(Via NRO) Conservatives often lament their inability to nominate one of their own for president. Almost unnoticed, the RNC made some changes to the party rules that could make it even harder in 2016. One change in particular could make it virtually impossible for a movement candidate to become the 2016 nominee. (more…)

Wall Street’s decision to run Joe Biden has absolutely nothing to do with Joe Biden per se’, and everything to do with Donald Trump.  Dame Clinton cannot defeat Trump.  As it becomes more likely that Donald Trump will be the GOP nominee, risk adverse Wall Street/The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has to reposition their play…

(Via NBC) Contrary to reports suggesting Vice President Joe Biden’s wife remains an obstacle to his potential presidential run, sources tell NBC News that Jill Biden is fully behind him for another bid.
Jill Biden, sources tell NBC’s Chuck Todd, is 100 percent on-board with a presidential run, despite reports indicating her hesitation is part of what’s keeping Biden from jumping into the race. (more…)

The article conjures up images of Kerry and Obama playing the roles of Herve Villechaize and Ricardo Montalban waiting for the planes to arrive on Fantasy Island…. “Da Plane, Da plane”!

(Via NBC) The U.S. is offering new details about its plan to ease the Syrian refugee crisis by significantly increasing the number of worldwide refugees it will take in over the next two years.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world next year, up from 70,000, and the number will rise to 100,000 in 2017. (more…)

The U.S. State Department has announced plans to bring 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. over the next year. One of the destinations is Baltimore Maryland.

NPR has received some preliminary examples of the type of analyst intelligence that was skewed to create a more favorable opinion of President Obama’s foreign policy approach toward ISIS.
In one example the following is noted:

[…]  A military source described the evolution of one report that came out of CENTCOM’s intelligence shop. It was a dispatch on an ISIS attack in Iraq near the Syrian border. The initial CENTCOM report read, “Iraqi forces retreated.” It was sent back for reworking, the source said. Eventually that report came to read that the Iraqi forces had not retreated, but instead had reinforced another Iraqi position. The final draft suggested a strategic decision had been made. But that was not what happened, the source said — the Iraqi forces ran. A second source confirmed the account of the change in wording to put the Iraqi forces in a more positive light. (read more)

In what appears to be a profound sense of professional obfuscation, the head of U.S. Central Command, Gen. Lloyd Austin, told congress that despite the revisions and/or manipulations currently being investigated by the inspector general, the intelligence did not go directly to President Obama. (more…)

You might disagree with this, I do not.  If you remove Donald Trump it is a guaranteed outcome. Hence here’s what the 43 members of the professional political class are predicting for the outcome of the 2015/16 primary race:
They can be so confident because the entire construct of elections are decided upon by Wall Street and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce  (Here’s The Analysis Link)

The media is so full of obfuscation with this story it’s quite funny.

If you were to read any of a number of articles (EXAMPLE HERE) about Ahmed Mohamed and his “clock” he brought to school, you’d never quite get the picture of what this “clock” looked like. Well here it is:

This is what he carried into school

There is a particular amount of hypocrisy on the left circling this story. A Caucasian kid chews a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun, gets suspended from school and liberals – meh, no-one cares. A Muslim kid takes this “briefcase clock” into school, gets suspended, and liberals are apoplectic.

Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.

Yes Alice, DeRay McKesson is going to be teaching at Yale, and now Jamal Bryant announces he’s running for congress.  Bryant will be targeting the congressional seat currently occupied by Elijah Cummings, as Cummings is widely expected to run for the Senate.

Many people will remember Jamal Bryant from his involvement with the Freddie Gray protesting community.  However, some might remember Bryant from his involvement with the fraudulent narrative surrounding Trayvon Martin fiasco.  From his announcement:
(BALTIMORE CBS) […]  “After prayer, soul searching and long deliberation, I am officially- -announcing my candidacy for Congress of the United States representing the 7^th Congressional District,” he said in a statement. “After the Freddie Gray uprising, the proliferation of police brutality across this nation, the lack of jobs, widespread poverty and hopelessness throughout our urban areas, I decided that leading a successful congregation and building a great church is not enough. I want to contribute to public policy in Washington.” (more…)

I don’t seem to remember during the “Unaccompanied Alien Children” humanitarian crisis of 2014, any EU nation offering to take in thousands of South American “refugees” – or offer assistance…. 

Just sayin’
