Open Discussion Thread for anything related to BREXIT

Today is the big day for Britain’s vote to remain in the European Union or to declare its independence and take control of its own destiny.    Voting began at 7:00am in Britain (2:00am U.S. EDT) and will continue throughout the day until 10:00pm local (5:00pm U.S. EDT):
Update 6:30pm EDT:  With polls closed the totals are beginning to come in.  UK Telegraph has a Live Stream and Live Feed – AVAILABLE HERE

There is a great deal of media information and misinformation coming out in the early results depending on the political leanings of the reporting media.  At 6:43pm EDT it’s still too uncertain.

A Leave source tells me that, for what it is worth, the polls by the financial institutions are split on what the result is

If you add the “not sure” group the ratio climbs to 80%.   Only 20% of republican voters have any confidence the Republican party leadership supports Donald Trump.
There is actually good news within the larger electorate understanding this dynamic.
THIS common understanding is why it is completely safe for candidate Trump to turn his rhetorical fire toward Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney and the various agents within the leadership of the GOPe.
(Via Rasmussen) Despite Donald Trump’s record turnout in this year’s primaries, most Republican voters are convinced that their party’s leaders don’t want him to get elected.
Sixty-six percent (66%) of Likely Republican Voters believe that most top GOP leaders do not want Trump to be elected president of the United States. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 20% think most Republican leaders do want their party’s likely nominee to win the White House. Fourteen percent (14%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Sixty-two percent (62%) of GOP voters say it is bad for their party that top Republican leaders continue to criticize Trump. Only 15% feel that continuing criticism is good for the party, while 17% say it has no impact. (more…)

Ask yourself why anyone would vote for a candidate who announces his/her U.S. Senate reelection bid and in the same breath refuses to say they intend to fulfill the 6-year term such a reelection requires.
Then ask yourself why would any candidate run for a political office while simultaneously refusing to commit to the term they are campaigning for.
Those two questions simply begin the discussion now that Florida Senator Marco Rubio has stated he has reversed position and intends to run for reelection.
What’s ultimately behind this decision is an intentional construct of the Wall Street legislative priority constructionists (GOPe leadership) to create a dynamic of controlled failure.

Today I‘d like to share my thoughts about the stakes in this election.
People have asked me why I am running for President.
I have built an amazing business that I love and I get to work side-by-side with my children every day.
We come to work together and turn visions into reality.
We think big, and then we make it happen.
I love what I do, and I am grateful beyond words to the nation that has allowed me to do it.
So when people ask me why I am running, I quickly answer: I am running to give back to this country which has been so good to me.
When I see the crumbling roads and bridges, or the dilapidated airports, or the factories moving overseas to Mexico, or to other countries, I know these problems can all be fixed, but not by Hillary Clinton – only by me. (more…)

The Brexit vote is less than 24 hours away.  The usual socialist, globalist, brangelina peacenik, obama-loving liberals who prefer to sit naked in camp circles while eating sustainable algae cakes and picking parasites off each other are evident amid the arguments held by the REMAIN side.
And then there’s Boris Johnson:

Below you will find the full 2 hour great debate broken down into four bite sized morsels for those who are interested in following the arguments.  Of course the debate is sponsored by the Uber Progressive Anti-Nationalist British Broadcasting Company (BBC).  They wouldn’t have it any other way….

HatTip Gateway Pundit who outlines an interview between News Max TV’s Steve Malzberg and Michelle Fields who is on a publicity tour for her book.  It’s the first time Fields has ever been publicly confronted over her ridiculously false claims against Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

When Malzberg actually confronted Fields with the above quote, directly from the book she is promoting, she denies it exists and ends the interview:

According to MSNBC U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch can’t seem to figure out the motive of the Orlando terrorist, Omar Mateen.
Puzzled they are, stumped even. They just can’t quite figure it out.

This is a modified and updated repost from an early January ’16 outline which collected data from all of the various Donald Trump interviews, position papers, and historical outlines. Candidate Trump has been speaking about broad U.S. economic issues for decades. Trump approaches the challenges by focusing on “Main Street”, not Wall Street.
For the sake of brevity, I’m going to accept that most readers here are familiar with who funds and directs Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, and in larger more consequential measures, the DC UniParty legislative team in charge of U.S. Policy, ie. Wall street.
During the January 2016 South Carolina debate, and in response to Trump pointing out a necessary shift in trade position (a shift to put American interests first – a shift to stop the dependency on cheap import goods – a shift to use China’s dependency on access to our market to OUR advantage), Jeb Bush came back with an example of Boeing manufacturing.

Donald Trump, responded to Jeb’s Boeing example, and pointed out China is forcing Boeing to open a manufacturing plant in China. As would be typical from a candidate who is unfamiliar and poorly briefed on the issue, Jeb Bush looked back incredulously and said:

“C’mon man”…

There we saw it.
Right there was the disconnect.
However, almost everyone missed it.
There, in that exact moment, was the spotlight upon all that is wrong with a professional political class; globalists dependent on Wall Street best interest for their talking points.
Donald Trump was 100% correct.
But the issue is bigger.
