A Suffolk University “non-media” poll released today shows exceptionally good news for candidate Donald Trump in the quest to overcome the rigged system. Unlike most media funded polls, the Suffolk poll is very extensive and provides full disclosure on all aspects of the construct allowing for comprehensive research, analysis and evaluation.

The general top line result shows Donald Trump  winning with 44%, and Hillary Clinton 41%. However, the fully disclosed methodology provides an even greater level of optimism. Here’s why:

This survey of 500 likely North Carolina general election voters was conducted between September 5 and September 7, 2016, and is based on live telephone interviews of adults who indicated they were likely to vote in the November 2016 general election for president. Each area’s quota and demographic information — including race and age — was determined from previous like elections (link)

We have already statistically quantified the significant variances from 2012 to 2016. Suffolk relying on baselines from ’08 and ’12 presidential models means they are under evaluating the ’16 Trump enthusiasm and Trump registration gap.
Again, Suffolk provides full disclosure and sunlight; their use of historical reference for current cycle is honestly disclosed and understandable.
Additionally: Here’s the key takeaways that, when added to the (understandable) assumption, underscore the exponential optimism: (more…)

If you wondered what the internal focus grouped feedback was to Secretary Clinton’s Commander-in-Chief forum presentation, you only need to note that first thing this morning her campaign hastily scheduled a press conference on the tarmac of the airport.
Clinton’s first press conference in 278 days.

Essentially the press conference was typical Clintonian deflection and complaints about media coverage of her performance. From the video it appears four questions were agreed upon, but another was taken by Andrea Mitchell.
Obviously the sycophants in the traveling Clinton press poll (all pre-approved by the campaign) did not ask any substantive questions….  And that’s the reason for doing the presser on the tarmac, as opposed to a formally scheduled press conference where a full press corps would ask more targeted questions.

When the FBI released the Hillary Clinton interview documents on the Friday before labor day even the insufferable leftist media flinched.  The timing of the release was entirely too obvious, too visible, too representational of the system being rigged.
The data within the release was additionally damaging toward the entire construct of “trust in government”.  Further erosion of public confidence is the consequence.

Which leads an intelligent person to wonder if James Comey isn’t intentionally trying to burn down the system.  After all, he’s not a stupid man.
When a system, any system, or even “the system“, is so horribly corrupt there’s always a rebound effect possible in direct proportion to the severity of the corruption.  No systems of governance (or of any sort) can stay tilted toward systemic corruption forever (see Venezuela). The best the indulgent power agents can do is postpone the inevitable correction as long as possible.

Moderator Matt Lauer should have disclosed his involvement with, and donations to, the Hillary Clinton Foundation at the outset of this program/forum.   Not doing so was a terrible exhibition of poor journalistic ethics.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and Republican nominee Donald Trump, took the stage in New York at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum to field questions on national security, military affairs and veterans issues.
Two segments below.  The first with Hillary Clinton; the second with Donald Trump:

The second thirty minute segment was Donald Trump:

If you missed the earlier discussion thread about Obama’s ISIS strategy/non-strategy  (SEE HERE), you might miss the essence of the brutal stupidity exhibited here by Jake Tapper.  Liberals always play the game of pretending not to know…
Senator Jeff Sessions does a great job delivering the Triple Penguin Award:

It was the anticipation of this predictable MSM approach exhibited by Tapper that was precisely the reason for the earlier discussion thread. (more…)

No, we are not going to reverse course and start deconstructing the insufferable media polling. We are committed to continuing to ignore the nonsense, the ‘shiny thing’ chatter.
However, every once in a while an example surfaces where we can explain that decision using a current case in point.  Cue today’s PPP Florida poll:

(Via PPP) […] PPP’s newest Florida poll finds a very tight race for President in the state. In the full field Donald Trump gets 44% to 43% for Hillary Clinton, with Gary Johnson at 5%, and Jill Stein and Evan McMullin each at 1%. But in a head to head between Clinton and Trump, the nominal lead flips to Clinton at 47/46. That’s because voters who support one of the minor candidates or are undecided in the full field pick Clinton by 12 points over Trump if they had to choose just between the two major candidates. (link)

OMG… “tight race“.  Oooooo,…. Ahhhhh,….. etc.
However, look at this first:

Wait, huh… wha?…. 16% of Registered Democrats are supporting Donald Trump?  By itself that’s called burying the lede; but wait…, Independents are split even (not likely)… and yet somehow Trump is losing overall?
The only way that’s even remotely possible is if PPP necessarily over sampled the Democrats in Florida.  It would take a considerable “over sampling” to pull off a Clinton poll lead. Let’s look: (more…)

According to the latest NBC poll of retired or active military registered voters Donald Trump is leading Hillary Clinton by significant margins. – Data Link –

Earlier today CNN’s Chris Cuomo interviewed Corey Lewandowski (Trump) and Christine Quinn (Clinton) to get each campaigns perspective on current discussions of U.S. foreign policy and military use (video after background).
Notice how no-one, unfortunately even Lewandowski, references President Obama specifically selecting General John Allen in 2014 to lead the White House coordinated campaign against ISIS.

Flashback Sept 11th 2014 – U.S. officials told the Associated Press on Thursday that retired Marine Lieutenant General John Allen will coordinate the broad international effort to battle the self-declared Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), as nations begin to determine what part they will play.

The appointing of General Allen specifically followed an alarming admission by President Obama himself, on August 28th 2014, that the White House had no strategy to defeat ISIS. Watch this to refresh:

Donald Trump delivered a policy speech today in Philadelphia outlining his military  perspectives and vision for U.S. military engagement moving forward.  You can find the transcript HERE and below.
However, something a little different.  Along with the transcript below we are going to present pictures of recent military and foreign policy events which Donald Trump seemed to specifically refer to.

 
[ TRANSCRIPT ] Today, I am here to talk about three crucial words that should be at the center of our foreign policy: Peace Through Strength.
We want to achieve a stable, peaceful world with less conflict and more common ground.
I am proposing a new foreign policy focused on advancing America’s core national interests, promoting regional stability, and producing an easing of tensions in the world. This will require rethinking the failed policies of the past.
We can make new friends, rebuild old alliances, and bring new allies into the fold.
