Cold Anger perceives deception the way a long-term battered spouse absorbs the blows in the hours prior to the pre-planned exit; with purpose.  Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. Cold Anger absorbs betrayal silently, often prudently. Cold Anger is not hatred, it is far more purposeful….

(Via Facebook) Ironic, tragic, but not unexpected – amidst America’s Independence Day celebrations the Ruling Class put another boot on our neck to snuff liberty’s life out of We the People.
It’s a farce that “no one is above the law” and my heart goes out to all who’ve been unjustly accused and destroyed over much lesser crimes than Hillary’s.
We MUST redouble efforts to restore the rule of law that had sustained the most exceptional nation on earth, with everyone doing their part:

FBI Director James Comey said at a press conference that Hillary Clinton and her aides were “extremely careless” in their email handling of classified information. He said 110 emails sent or received on Clinton’s server contained classified information.

FBI Director James Comey announced Tuesday that he will not recommend criminal charges against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in relation to her use of a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State.
“Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is information that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”

Over July 4th weekend, ABC8 in Richmond Virginia conducted a poll surrounding the ongoing FBI investigation and recent interview with Hillary Clinton.  Out of 1,645 respondents: 82% said Ms. Clinton should be criminally prosecuted, 16% said she should not.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has been under scrutiny for almost a year after it came to light that she used a private email server for her government and personal emails, rather than the State Department’s email system while serving as Secretary of State to President Obama. She recently met with the FBI about an investigation being conducted to decide whether or not to criminally prosecute her for her actions.
Clinton has said relying on a private server was a mistake but that other secretaries of state had also used a personal email address previously.
Following reports of Clinton’s FBI interview, presumptive Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted: “It is impossible for the FBI not to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton. What she did was wrong!”

Remember all of the media coverage about a bakery refusing to cater a Gay Wedding Cake. The national headlines, lawsuits, 24/7 stories of intolerance etc?  Well, as you review this recent story (happened yesterday) think about how tolerance is defined and applied.
A young man in San Francisco went into a local T-Shirt Shop, Bang-On T-Shirts LLC, to purchase a custom Trump Tee. The retail company staff made the shirt, but added a rather inappropriate surprise the customer discovered when he arrived home.

The website Regated has the full story – Including an Interview – which describes the entire incident:

A younger Trump supporter walked into the ‘Bang  On T-Shirts’ store in San Francisco earlier today to get a custom-embroidered shirt.
Although getting dirty looks and a few snide questions when explaining the logo of the shirt, it came out fine — however, after returning to his hotel, he noticed a big problem.

This should really not come as a surprise.  UKIP was formed on a singular principle, the “United Kingdom Independence Party” (hence, UKIP).
After achieving Brexit, what most political observers said was “the impossible”, Nigel Farage is leaving UKIP while most certainly ‘on top’.  Mr. Farage steps down from leading the insurgent party to focus on how he can aid other small national insurgencies to achieve their own national independence.

(Via Reuters) The leader of the insurgent right-wing UK Independence Party said on Monday he was stepping down after realising his ambition to win a vote for Britain to leave the EU, the latest twist in a dramatic reshaping of the nation’s politics.

There are times when people state our optimism in the 2016 presidential election is missing the required amount of caution or concern.  However, what many of those voices don’t realize is the research-based reasoning for our outlook.
If you tune out the media noise, look around and pay close attention, you can see the groundwork for an epic landslide everywhere.

The historical playbook of the oppositional left (for sake of expediency Democrats) has always been to carve the larger electorate into smaller, more manageable, sub categories they call “interest groups”.  Those groups are then micro-targeted with campaign messaging tailored to their self-interest; and historically they have been successful.
The traditional method to countering this approach (pushed by a set of political consultants who genuinely think they understand, but factually are wrong) has been to apply the same strategic targeting -campaign message- back upon the carved out, by tailoring a counter ideological message to their needs.

Very salty language, but the points made are insanely accurate.
With the context of the last twelve months of sunlight upon a political process as a backdrop, this George Carlin segment is essentially the USA version of the Brexit argument.

[Transcript]  “There’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got.

Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the REAL owners, now. The REAL owners, the BIG WEALTHY business interests that control things and make all the important decisions — forget the politicians.

Ever since they initially came on the political scene, it has always seemed odd that no reporter ever asks: “when was the last time you saw your husband?.
There’s absolutely nothing within the definition of “marriage” that fits the two professional politicians, Bill and Hillary.  Their relationship is always in the abstract when referenced.

Hillary doesn’t stand a chance of winning the election. There’s a reason why no-one shows up to her events, speeches or rallies. Authenticity is always a key aspect to electoral victory; she just ain’t got it.
♦ In 2008 there were 38,111,341 Democrat votes in the primary. In 2016 there were 28,269,195. A net decrease of 9,842,146 (-29%)
♦ In 2012 there were 19,214,513 Republican votes in primary. In 2016 there were 30,261,999. A net increase of 11,047,486 (+57%)

There are many people who don’t support July 4th, America’s birthday.  They simply hate everything this nation stands for and they don’t believe in an exceptional America.  As a consequence, for them, July 4th represents everything they despise.
There was a time when those voices were few and far between; we used to call them the radical left or the far left.  Unfortunately, with the growth of the political left, and the growth of the institutional leftist constructs pushing out the center-left, the anti-American sentiment is now the populous sentiment within the largest elements of the Democrat party.
It’s now generally accurate to say Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders supportive camps are within the grouping who hate America; at least by the same scope they hate religion, any references to Christianity, the U.S. flag and the U.S. military writ large.
A gradual erosion of pride has given way to a daily onslaught.  It’s has only taken about a generation of anti-Americanism to infect large parts -perhaps most parts- of the Millennial generation; although the initial advocates still attempt to cloud their hatred under the auspices of various social justice endeavors.  (more…)
