Perhaps many have forgotten. In 2013 a progressive group of leftists began organizing a Million Muslim march on Washington DC scheduled for September 11th 2013.
In rapid response (mostly through social media) the national assembly of motorcycle enthusiasts, various clubs, began organizing a counter demonstration; A Million Biker ride on DC scheduled for the same day.
Within days hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands, began riding from every single state in the union. At least 800,000 (counted by Viriginia LEO stationed on I-95), and up to 2 million, arrived in the DC suburbs on Sept. 9th, 10th and 11th 2013.

Without any permits the 9/11/13 bikers were denied “non-stop” entrance to the national mall; so they rode into, around and through DC in wave after wave of rolling patriotic assembly.
The media never reported on the ride, preferring to try and downplay the event. However, their assembly sent shock waves through Washington DC as the professional political class immediately noticed the scope of the backlash. The White House and the progressive movement also took notice.
The simple act of showing up sent a very loud and clear message: “There are more of us, than you”.  In many ways this visibility was also the representative imagery of The Monster Vote. (more…)

Two well known democrats, Chris Wallace and Adam Schiff, argue over the possible ramifications of the latest Office of Inspector General (OIG) report.  Wallace is concerned, Shiff is dismissive – they haz row on TV:

Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski appeared on Fox News Sunday today to discuss the Trump campaign strategy moving forward:

Candidate Donald Trump is anticipated to deliver remarks in Washington DC at the Rolling Thunder event sometime around 10:00am to 12:00pm EDT.  All timing is approximate as the scheduling is fluid.
However, there are some Live Stream links which will attempt to cover the event:

Oh my.  A recent Clout Research poll from the State of Oregon (full pdf below), not exactly well known as a bastion of all things republican, shows candidate Donald Trump beating Hillary Clinton 44 to 42%.
However, with Independent Voters, Donald Trump is CRUSHING Hillary Clinton by 27 points 53% to 26%.   The Monster Vote effect:

 
In addition to the 27 point lead with independent voters, Donald Trump also has a 13 point advantage with male voters – and the deficit with female voters is only 9 points.
Oh dear.  More media narratives fizzling like cheap bottle rockets….  *pop*

When political opinion holders discuss the disconnect between the outlook of House Speaker Paul Ryan vs the perspectives of republican presidential nominee Donald Trump the emphasis is often on the wrong ideological syllable.  Here’s the consideration as viewed through our rather lengthy historical research.
At the very core of the legislative bodies within the House of Representatives and the Senate a person must first focus their own perspective and ask themselves: “what does a representative legislative body mean to me“?

If you answer that question with a form of opinion “the federal politician should represent the will of his/her constituency“, you are holding a traditional federalist type outlook and expectation.
However, in modern political reality -with the increased legislative influences of corporate interests superseding the will of the electorate- a person must accept the legislative outcomes are no longer based on the ‘will of the electorate’.
An intellectually honest person only needs to look as far as the statements from Jonathan Gruber, ObamaCare architect, to understand the legislative objectives are now carried forth on a principle of ‘we know better‘.  Indeed, when Obamacare was created a full 70% of the electorate did not want it, yet congress were determined to create it.

Last Thursday Judicial Watch released the deposition transcript of Ambassador Lewis Lukens, former deputy assistant secretary of state and executive director of the State Department’s executive secretariat.
The transcript pdf is embedded below.
Lukens was deposed last week as part of the discovery granted to Judicial Watch by U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan in response to its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s unsecured, non-government email system (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-01363)). (more…)

The Wall Street legislative agenda consists of broad principles (financial global items) and some core priorities:

• Comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty.
• Passage of the TPP trade deal.
• The advancement of Common Core federal education standards.
• The retention of ObamaCare without repeal
• Growth of government to the benefit of the investing class.

Toward those ends, U.S. CoC President Tom Donohue, acting as front-man, has invested over $400 million in advance payments to House and Senate leaders and members.
Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan have a unified objective to defend the W.S. Agenda items. Candidate Donald Trump, representing main street, is opposed to the Wall Street legislative agenda.  Trump prefers “America First”. Hence, the ideological loggerheads.
(Via Julia Hahn – Breitbart) One day prior to Donald Trump formally clinching the GOP nomination, House Speaker Paul Ryan launched a new line of attack against the Party’s standard bearer selected by GOP voters.

During a Wednesday meeting with reporters on Capitol Hill, the House Speaker, once again, disavowed Trump’s campaign pledge to enforce U.S. immigration law.
Ryan also indicated that he would not include Trump’s signature policy platforms on trade or immigration in the House GOP 2017 policy agenda.

(Via Bloomberg) Donald Trump is planning a Memorial Day weekend visit with one of his favorite constituencies: bikers.
As motorcyclists stream into the nation’s capital for Rolling Thunder, their largest annual gathering, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is planning an appearance on Sunday, campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said.

“I am doing it in honor of the great bikers who have been totally supportive of my campaign and now I want to be supportive of them,” Trump said in a statement to Bloomberg Politics. “I look forward to it!”
