Senator Marco Rubio, a wholly owned subsidiary of the CoC, is difficult to locate…

WASHINGTON – During a recent town hall in Derry, New Hampshire, a voter asked Sen. Marco Rubio about the large number of Senate votes Rubio has missed in recent months. “I just wanted to know what your reason for that is,” the voter said.

“I’m running for president,” Rubio answered. “I’m here in New Hampshire talking to you.”

Rubio has taken some flak — most notably, from Donald Trump — for not showing up for votes. He’s missed most of October’s votes so far. From April to June of this year, he missed about one-third of the votes, and from July to September, he missed a little over half the votes. That’s not good, even by Senate terms.

The striking thing, though, is that while Rubio is not in Washington, he is also not on the campaign trail in the early states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, at least as much as many of his Republican rivals.  (more…)

With this announcement representative Paul Ryan is openly announcing his intention to destroy the conservative elements within the republican party.  And yet again, its doubtful anyone will try to stop him.

The president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Tom Donohue, recently announced his intentions to eliminate opposition to their progressive big government positions and destroy fiscal conservatives (Tea Party).

Tom Donohue demands: ♦ approval of the TPP trade deal, ♦ continuation of ObamaCare, ♦ comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty, and ♦ federal education Common Core education standards.

Previously we explained how deep the tentacles of the CoC reach within the Republican party – SEE HERE.

Now today, to put the cherry on the cake, Paul Ryan announces he will appoint Chamber of Commerce Lobbyist David Hoppe as his Chief of Staff as Speaker of the House.

WASHINGTON DC –  As he builds support for his bid for speaker of the House, Republican Rep. Paul Ryan has announced he will name as his top aide a longtime corporate lobbyist whose past clients have significant business before Congress.

The U.S. electorate suffer from such intense media gaslighting it creates a weird disconnect.   Along comes a person (Donald Trump) who speaks common sense truth and immediately media narratives disappear; people say: “hey yeah, what about that”?

Jake Tapper (00:48) says “what about the human rights abuses”?

Donald Trump responds with the atomic sledgehammer of truth – Prepare for ‘Splodey Head moment:

“Human Rights Abuses”?

…”you don’t think they’re happening now? They’re worse now than they ever were. People are getting their heads chopped off, they’re being drowned in cages. Right now they’re far worse off than they ever were under Saddam Hussein or Kadaffi”….

Full poll pdf below (Via CBS) […]  In September, Trump had a small lead over Ben Carson. Now, the two candidates are running even. Ben Carson has drawn more support among white evangelicals – who always make up a sizeable portion of caucus-goers there (34 percent, vs. 17 percent for Trump). Trump has lost ground among this group since last month. Carson is also beating Trump among Iowa conservatives.

Trump leads Carson among men (30-26); Carson leads among women (28-24). Trump also leads among seniors (33-25).  No minorities were polled, prior polling Trump wins all racial demographics. (read more)

CBS Battleground state poll (full pdf below) of South Carolina. Interestingly, the CBS poll data was a joint effort with YouGov polling; and you might note how every MSM outlet had previously dismissed YouGov polling as unreliable. Well, that was when it was necessary to dispute the evidenced support for Mr. Trump. Yeah, funny that….

In order to boost Carly Fiorina CNBC has given her a prime stage placement ahead of Jeb Bush for the upcoming debate.  While the move was transparently predictable in media intent, it’s doubtful anything can rescue her campaign.   Everyone has caught on that Carly is a big fibber and has a Brian Williams problem.

Jeb Bush was campaigning in South Carolina yesterday when he angrily stomped his feet because everyone was expecting him to work for a nomination.  Sad little man. (more…)

This is simply the best. At approximately 16:00 min point they are discussing Iraq (Saddam Hussein) and Libya (Quackdaffy), as Trump says both countries would be better off today if they had been left alone.

The very next moment, in the retort from Jake Tapper, you find exactly why Donald Trump will win the 2016 general election in a landslide.

Jake Tapper says: “you think they’d be better off” — “what about the human rights abuses”?

The response from Trump is priceless.

“Human rights abuses? Human rights abuses? JAKE – they’re cutting off heads and drowning people in cages RIGHT NOW, how is that better for human rights”?

A recent article at Real Clear Politics hits on one of the key aspects of the Benghazi fiasco that recent media are hell-bent on hiding; Hillary Clinton, not President Obama, is actually the person responsible for the crisis in Libya.

Watching the House Select Committee on Benghazi hearings, it was interesting to note how no-one really went ‘there’ to give Clinton full ownership of the 2011 Libyan Intervention.  So let’s review Clinton’s ownership.

It’s as if both congress and the media have forgotten those ridiculous 19-days in 2011 when Hillary was flying back-and-forth to meet with French Prime-Minister Sarkozy and plan their endeavors.

In the U.S. presidential adviser Samantha Power was  bending Obama’s ear with declarations of a “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) the Eastern Libyan citizens from the boogie man narrative assigned to Gadaffi.

Meanwhile in New York,  U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was answering calls from her British and French counterparts who were similarly selling an interventionist message.  Back in the White House, President Obama was reluctant to engage.  It was Secretary Clinton working overtime to bring the President into the same line of thinking as herself.

We spend a lot of time following Tom Donohue and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce simply because if you trace any tentacle of globalist advancement from DC back to its origin you’ll find Donohue and the CoC at the nucleus.

In a post Citizens United SCOTUS landscape, it was Donohue in 2011 who seized upon the unlimited finance opportunity, used K-Street lobbyists, and formerly announced his plans to attack Tea Party (conservative) insurgent politicians. Donohue followed through on this plan in 2012 with primary support for Mitt Romney, and again another announcement in October of 2013 in advance of the 2014 mid-terms.

To facilitate the prior year’s objectives, and to insure a tight controlling grip on the Republican agenda, it was Donohue who decided to take over CPAC and control the event functions, speakers and approvals for any presentations within the convention.  Anti-immigration reform speakers were cast out and blocked from appearing.

It was also Donohue, and the U.S. CoC who paid Senate Leader Mitch McConnell to deliver TPA (fast track trade authority). Similarly it was Tom Donohue (through the Chamber of Commerce) who created the legislative priorities for ’14/’15 to insure McConnell/Boehner never tried to repeal ObamaCare, and pushed for comprehensive immigration reform. Implementation of Common Core education standards is also a CoC priority. (more…)

In a rather typical presentation of pouty-faced Jeb Bush today he declared this competition thing is just too much, too much.  In essence saying he didn’t get into this race because he was actually expected to do any work or anything.  Look, if you’re not just going to hand it to me, well, to heck with all y’all – go on and elect Trump.

(Via New York Times) A day after his campaign slashed staff and salaries to retrench ahead of the Iowa caucuses, Jeb Bush decried the toxic tone of the presidential race and suggesting that “demonizing” people isn’t what he signed up for in this campaign.

Mr. Bush made the remarks at a town hall in South Carolina, where, according to a report by CNN, he seemed fired up about taking on the person who has overshadowed him during the campaign, Donald J. Trump, who is leading most Republican polls so far.

“If this election is about how we’re going to fight to get nothing done, I don’t want any part of it. I don’t want to be elected president to sit around and see gridlock just become so dominant that people literally are in decline in their lives. That is not my motivation. (more…)
