Reader/Commentator Bluto puts hammer to nail.  Sometimes it helps to step back and ask the obvious:

I keep asking people: “Can somebody tell me about all the big Rallies for Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Carson, Kasich, Christie??? Are they too having several a week? Does anybody have the listings of previous rallies and upcoming rallies? The location, the venue, the attendances?”

Crickets.

Trump is the only one working. It’s glaring. He’s not just working, he’s been chugging along lapping the field day-in and day-out for months now. Nobody is attracting the people like Trump. Nobody.

But wait, that’s going to annoy the naysayers that attack his supporters as idiots & low information boobs. So let’s take the crowds out of it. (more…)

Don’t rely on what the media tell you (their opinion) about what was said, instead listen to the raw interview yourself and make up your own mind.

And here’s Trump on Fox and Friends This Morning (more…)

ABC/Washington Post presented a new poll today of the broader electorate (full pdf below).   To highlight how absurd the media presented bias is, I would draw your attention to page #6 and #7.  (ie. the poll results of prior months)

What interested political and media followers will note is ABC/WaPo never released the October part of this poll.  Why?  Well, perhaps because at the time (last two weeks of October) both ABC and The Wasington Post were selling a “declining Trump narrative“.  As their own historical data clearly shows – they were selling that story DESPITE their own polling showing the exact opposite of their narrative.

‘Splodey Head Accompanying Script – Trump’s steady lead reflects his success in tapping into the broad anti-establishment, anti-immigration  –and now anti-refugee– sentiment within the GOP. Despite his sometimes controversial statements –or perhaps because of them– he leads his competitors on key attributes and issues alike, and continues to be seen as most likely to win the party’s nomination.

This is apparently one of those things that is an open, and yet non-discussed, secret.

Several people have queried why they would be getting Ted Cruz campaign donation requests/solicitation directly from Breitbart, and/or getting donation requests from Ted Cruz on Breitbart letterhead.

The answer is simple, yet perhaps like me you never knew.

The Breitbart Media Group is financially backed and funded by Hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer. Mercer was/is the originating financial backer for the Ted Cruz “Keep the Promise” (KtP 1, KtP2 and KtP3) Super-PACs.  Mercer is also the financial backing behind Cambridge Analytica.

Cambridge Analytica is the receiver of the contact information provided to Breitbart when you participate in their on-line Presidential Poll.

In essence, when you participate the Breitbart poll, you are sending your personal information into a data-base controlled by the proprietary interests of Robert Mercer, Cambridge Analytica.  The Ted Cruz campaign then uses the data collected to fund-raise on behalf of the Campaign. (more…)

Last Sunday Pastor Robert Jeffress discussed the nature of violent Islam within his sermon.  Despite the discomfort, it is a discussion long, long overdue.   As stated within his delivery “it is time for us, and for government, to act”.

There is much plain-spoken truth within this 6 minutes.  However, I would nuance the conversation with our own families slightly differently.  While it is essentially accurate to say we are confronting “Radical Islam”, and/or those who believe in “Authentic Islam”, there is a more accurate term for what we face.

The behavior we are confronting is “Islamic Jihad”.  The Islamic Jihad has been a never-ending war against the West.  Christians, Secularists and Atheists alike are all infidels; and as a consequence enemies of, and targets for, the Islamic Jihad.

Lastly, there is something rather significant to consider.   Everyone notices there is a growing anger amid all people, on all sides.  (more…)

Delivering a full measure of devotion !

(Via ABC) Just a few weeks shy of her 93rd birthday, Beada Corum is hard of hearing and needs corrective lenses.

But when Donald Trump speaks, Corum hears and sees with clarity the only politician that she feels is worth voting for — for the first time in her entire life.

Corum, who introduced Trump at his rally in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Monday night, has registered to vote for the very first time with the express purpose of being able to cast a vote for Trump for president.

“When I heard Donald Trump speak on TV, I thought ‘Lord, who in the world is that man?’ Well, he came back a few days later, and I said ‘Oh my god I believe God sent him to run this country and take care of it,’” Corum told ABC News. (more…)

During a rally today in Birmingham, AL, Donald Trump told security to get a Black Lives Matter protester “the hell out of here.”   The African-American protester disrupted Trump during his speech, pulling off a sweatshirt to reveal a “Black Lives Matter” t-shirt and heckling the Republican candidate. The crowd did not support the protest:

Candidate Donald Trump appeared in Birmingham Alabama today.  “Sweet Home Alabama” !!

A new poll from Oklahoma shows what a disconnect there can be when using samples of “likely voters” (full poll data pdf below).  Donald Trump leads with 27%, Ted Cruz second with 18.3%, Carson in third with 17.5%, Rubio fourth with 16%.

A tightening field with Cruz gaining from Carson’s slips.  While Trump leads with all demographics, genders and age ranges (dominating the youth vote), the internals show Carson and Cruz base is within “very religious” segment of the Oklahoma electorate but only minimally stronger than Donald Trump – which is interesting.  Overall Oklahoma looks like a four person race.

OKLAHOMA CITY –  Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton remain the top choices for president among Oklahoma voters, according to an exclusive News 9/News On 6 poll.

If Oklahoma’s March 1 primary elections were held today, 27.1 percent of state Republicans say they would vote for Trump. Clinton controls nearly half of the Democrat primary vote, 46.6 percent, according to the poll. (more…)

It will probably not be up long – so here it is:
