Out with the old… Bush, Wallace, bland curmudgeon’s, providing crust-less cucumber and mayonnaise triangle sandwiches on wonder bread – with white wine spritzers:

There is only one party in Washington DC, the UniParty.  The professional political class support themselves beyond all other ideological factors. These are modern realities.

President Obama is in a very tenuous position this week as a nation has been stunned by the targeting of police officers.  Indeed, there is a solid argument to be made that President Obama created the antagonism toward law enforcement with various speeches and cursory accusations of unequal treatment.
As a modern social justice president who embraces radical extremist groups like Black Lives Matter, and as an executive community activist who has used the cabinet offices of his administration to leverage social change, President Obama has embraced many divisive entities and expressed ideological alignment with their cause.
The gunman in Dallas who targeted white police officers, specifically because of the color of their skin, is just one visible consequence from a President who rails against a system of law and order.  Obama’s ideology is more comfortable amid the chaos.  (more…)

A new poll released from JMC Analytics in Florida (full pdf below) shows Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton 47% to 42%, and leading with Hispanic voters 49% to 36%.

Some (particularly MSM) pundits will find these results quite shocking – however, we do not. We’ve repeatedly pointed out that Latino voters in Florida are very familiar with strong Patrone’ male figures within their family.  Trump represents a very familiar cultural voice for them.
This was abundantly evident in the primary race where Donald Trump won every county within Florida by exceptionally wide margins. (more…)

Today candidate Donald Trump is delivering a veterans reform policy speech at the Westin Virginia Beach Town Center.  Virginia Beach is the perfect venue because of the high military and veteran population along the coast.
It was also Virginia Beach that delivered enough votes for a state primary win over GOPe candidate Marco Rubio.  The venue is closed to the general public and the speech is set for 1:00pm EDT.

NBC and The Circus Show host Mark Halperin talks with Donald Trump and Bob Corker about the FBI’s refusal to indict Hillary Clinton after her email scandal as well as the status of his campaign at a rally of his in North Carolina.

The popular political showtime series “The Circus” returns for convention coverage Sunday July 10th at 8pm EDT.

Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn is a member of Donald Trump‘s ever-shortening VP shortlist.
The immigration portion of his veep audition on ABC News’ This Week with George Stephanopoulos probably helped him.
However, ABC knows the most effective way to divide, diminish and conquer the GOP electorate is to focus policy on social issues.   George Stephanopoulos famously displayed that goal during a weird 2012 GOP primary debate when he asked Mitt Romney if birth control was constitutional.
Fill-in host Martha Raddatz plays the transparent game and asks Flynn to weigh in on several social issues.  As expected the former DIA head veered sharply from traditional Republican orthodoxy.

Candidate Donald Trump has released a video via Facebook discussing the targeting of police in Dallas and the ongoing social/national anxiety:

Candidate Donald Trump went to Washington DC today to meet with House and Senate republicans.  The meeting with GOP politicians from the House of Representatives is generally being characterized as very positive:

[…]  members who have been critical of Trump, like New York Rep. Peter King, had positive reviews of the meeting.
“I would honestly say there was not one negative moment, there was no awkward moment, it was all positive, it was very united,” King told reporters. “And we’ll see where it goes. But today, if today is the way it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be an extremely effective campaign.”  (link)

However the meeting with the Senate chamber was predictably a mixed bag of never Trumpers, U.S. CoC crony consiglieres’ and decepticons.  (more…)

It’s a little odd to see a “not guilty” plea, considering Michael Sandford previously admitted to the plot to assassinate presidential candidate Donald Trump.

LAS VEGAS (AP) – A British citizen pleaded not guilty Wednesday to U.S. federal charges alleging he tried to grab a police officer’s gun to shoot presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at a Las Vegas campaign rally.
A judge set an Aug. 22 trial date for Michael Steven Sandford, 20, on charges of disrupting an official function and two firearm possession counts.
Sandford stood wearing a yellow jail jump suit with his federal public defense attorneys during his brief arraignment. (more…)
