What was an increasingly contentious primary race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders took a turn for the worse tonight when the head of the DNC launched a full-throated attack against the populous base of their own party.
Throughout the day today the professional apparatus of the Democrat party had been trying desperately to destroy the candidacy of Sanders by blaming him for the chaos at the Nevada Democrat National Convention.  Tonight DNC Chair Debbie Hyphen accused Sanders and his supporters of “intimidation tactics”.

Hillary will remain in the bunker surrounded by shields and protectors while the professional campaign acolytes and sycophants go out to attack all adversaries. (more…)

We anticipate more than one thread will be needed for tonight’s election night results. It will be a late night for Oregon results (around 11:00pm)

Oregon and Kentucky (Dem Only) Vote Today

√ Hillary Wins Kentucky (Barely – very close)

√ Bernie Sanders Wins Oregon (53%).

√ Donald Trump wins Oregon (68%)

♦ On the Democrat side Kentucky is a must win for Hillary Clinton, she doesn’t stand a chance in Oregon. Sanders would continue his forward momentum with a victory tonight in Kentucky and Oregon. The stakes are high.
UPDATE 10:30pm:  Kentucky is super close.  However, Hillary Clinton sycophant Alison Lundergun Grimes (KY Secretary of State) actually went on live TV (via CNN) with 99% of the vote in [Clinton 46.7% to Sanders 46.3%] and declared Hillary Clinton the winner:
♦ The media is doing everything they can to take down Team Bernie tonight, but Bernie had a strong victory in Oregon.
♦ On the Republican side Donald Trump easily won Oregon.

A new PPP poll from Arizona (full pdf below) shows Senator John McCain is in a serious battle for the GOP primary.  Challenger Kelli Ward is currently tied with McCain at 41% and the majority of republican electorate have a negative view of McCain.

Some of the internal polling results might be surprising to readers and political followers, especially given the preferred media narratives bantered about by the insufferable MSM punditry.
Example:  Kelli Ward is more heavily supported by Men 46/40 over McCain.  Conversely Women support McCain 43/36 over Ward.  The complete opposite narrative from what national punditry will opine (gaslight) when discussing gender based voting. (more…)

Judicial Watch has been doing yeoman’s work to get to the bottom of the entire scheme to hide Clinton communication from FOIA inquiry.  After two years of frustrating legal battles and lies from within the State Department, a federal judge has granted JW permission to depose Clinton’s staff:

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has scheduled the depositions of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s top aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, as well as top State Department official Patrick Kennedy, and former State IT employee Bryan Pagliano regarding the creation and operation of Clinton’s non-government email system.  The first witness, Lewis A. Lukens, will be deposed on Wednesday, May 18.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan granted “discovery” to Judicial Watch into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email system.
The court noted that “based on information learned during discovery, the deposition of Mrs. Clinton may be necessary.”  The discovery arises in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that seeks records about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Clinton.  (more…)

Folks, Donald Trump is CRUSHING Hillary Clinton Nationally

A National NBC/Survey Monkey Poll (pollster Mark Murray) was released today showing Hillary Clinton barely ahead of Donald Trump 48%/45%.
However, what’s more stunning, actually, gobsmackingly and transparently stunning, is how heavily skewed the poll data was constructed in order to show Hillary Clinton with a three point lead.  The poll has a necessary D+7.2% favorability weight:

Beyond the necessary D +7 poll skew, in order to present a poll that retains Hillary Clinton in the lead NBC Pollster Mark Murray needed to exclude 4,725 poll respondents from a total sample size of 12,507 registered voters.
This level of statistical smoothing is huge folks.   You can find the full poll data including the methodology HERE.  However, even with that said there’s even more evidence of Hillary Clinton losing. (more…)

Good grief.  Hillary Clinton Inc. is desperately trying to avoid the visible reality of Bernie Sanders representing the larger voice within the Democrat Party.

The Clinton machine (MSM) is working overtime pitching a wounded indian routine to their allies in the media.   The professional party apparatus is now blaming Bernie Sanders supporters for the Nevada Convention chaos the Clinton led democrat party created.

The customary process of DNC party officials claiming victim status and blaming the Bernie peeps for the abuse is ridiculous in the extreme.  After all, it was Bernie Sanders supporters who were intentionally shut down in Nevada.
Now the party leadership is demanding Bernie Sanders rebuke his own constituency.  Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz released a statement calling for universal condemnation of the Sanders supporters’ “troubling” attacks.
Here’s an example of how the Clinton Machine (New York Times) is pitching the latest strategy to destroy Bernie’s insurgent campaign: (more…)

Given the current state of political dysfunction, coupled with U.S. federal finances, this 2013 epic rant from MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan can be viewed as an almost eerily prescient prediction for the candidacy of Donald Trump:

Just because the so-called “conservative” and “liberal” punditry and politicos refuse to answer this question, doesn’t mean we should stop asking it.

In 2009 President Obama along with congress passed the roughly $900 billion stimulus bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The “non-shovel ready” spending took place within fiscal year 2010/2011. The amount is significant because the injected stimulus was 30% more than the entire federal budget for the same year.

However, since Fiscal Year 2008 we’ve never had a federal budget, preferring instead to fund government via base-line budgeting, continuing resolutions, increased in the debt ceiling, and omnibus spending.
As a direct result of the “baseline-budgeting” part of that spending approach, the federal government re-spent the ’09 “Stimulus” (first spent in FY ’10) in all subsequent fiscal years: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 (started last October), and 2017 (December’s Paul Ryan Omnibus bill).
That’s seven direct times the $900 billion “Stimulus” has been spent.
Seven times $900 billion equals $6.3 Trillion, or sixty three hundred billion.
Where is it?
What did we get for it?
What are we currently getting while continuing to spend it?

The preferred narrative is gaining increasing evidence. Those who gain benefit from leveraging a cultural shift of modern feminism are working earnestly to retain it.
The phrase:  “you cannot talk down to me because I’m a woman“, traditional -arguably appropriate- ERA feminism, demanded equality in opportunity.  However, that argument has now been dropped.
Modern feminism is leveraged: “you cannot criticize me, because I’m a woman“.
The traditional demands of equality are following a predictable pattern and now invoking leveraged benefit.
Ultimately, this is the modern version of feminism, and one currently being advanced by personalities like Fox News host Megyn Kelly.  Social justice memes demanding a higher position of consideration based on (fill_in_the_blank), where this specific blank is filled with gender.
The objective determinations of skill and competency are now being clouded by lowered expectations forced by the benefactors who gain by lowering the expectation.  It is a dangerous and slippery slope to bar critical evaluation based on lowered expectations due to gender.   Such well-intentioned pathways historically lead to soft-bigotry caused by lessened expectations.
However, if Hillary Clinton is to gain nation-wide elected office her incompetence and inability must be shielded.  This is the basic motive for a growing gender-based narrative as injected into the 2016 presidential race.   The latest attempts by the Washington Post and New York Times are ultimately evidence of this intention.
