The Sixty Three Hundred Billion Dollar Question…

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.
Debt ceiling - failed stimulis
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?

"Conservatives" Optimistic About Facebook Meeting To Discuss Censorship of Views…

facebook-logo1Against the backlash from Facebook being exposed for controlling content based on ideological views, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced he was going to meet with “conservative voices” to discuss their concerns.
Glenn Beck subsequently announced his participation in this upcoming meeting. –SEE HERE –
It’s all smoke and mirrors folks.  This PR ruse is about the most insufferable damage control amid years of behind-the-scenes political consultation is, well, silly.
The control of Facebook and other social media platforms to push political narratives is well documented, and extends far beyond non-traditional social media.  Matt Drudge was talking about it last year (see here).  And we’ve been following it since 2010.
Consider this picture:

Yes, that’s the leadership within the House of representatives in the spring of 2014 (Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy) meeting with Facebook’s CEO, Zuckerberg, and COO Sheryl Sandberg, to outline how Facebook could help the House of Representative pass comprehensive immigration reform by removing oppositional viewpoint from the social media feeds.

Ego Wounded Congressman Tim Huelskamp Showcases Why Ted Cruz Lost…

Congressman Tim Huelskamp appeared on Fox News Sunday today to provide the #NeverTrumpers with a proselytizing butthurt voice in the media cycle.  Huelskamp was so proud of himself after the interview, he bragged about it to his #NeverTrump cohorts.
Of course, it goes without saying, corporate Fox News Broadcasting is more than willing to give the location coordinates  to a social purity moonbat on a kamikaze mission in order to continue their efforts to sabotage any adversary to Wall Street’s preferred candidate, Hillary Clinton.

It is doubtful you could find a more representative persona (and set of accompanying arguments) for the typical Ted Cruz supporter than Tim Huelskamp.
In the video below the congressman outlines how Donald Trump fails all applied social litmus tests for conservative purity because Mr. Trump is not: religious enough, preachy enough, politically correct enough, and in a general sense is too crass for the moral authority wing of the religious right.
As Congressman Huelskamp outlines, those who are elected to legislate on appropriate bathroom issues, tone and manners, gender roles, as well as appropriate hem lengths, distance between dance partners and the dangers of modern cultural music, are aghast that a republican electorate would consider such vulgar “New York values” (<— yes Alice, he actually said that).
You must watch this video below and you’ll see exactly why “Religious Purity Conservative Republicans” lose elections: (more…)

Mitt Romney Identified As Primary Agent Attempting To Construct Third Party Bid…

Most people who understand the UniParty are the same people who railed against the Mitt Romney candidacy in 2012.  Mitt Romney, George Bush, Jeb, same-same-same.  So it should come as no surprise the enemy of Mitt Romney’s GOPe/UniParty effort, is actually us.
The reality is, if it wasn’t due to the Romney election machinations in 2012, we would never have been motivated to discover the origin of the networks which created the scheme.  Both 2011/2012 and 2015/2016 schemes were essentially the same.
In my own personal estimation, I believe Donald Trump knew this exact same construct. Trump knew the ruse, he saw it duplicating itself again, and frustrated he simply said ‘enough’…

(Via Washington Examiner)  Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., who has staked out a leading role as a Donald Trump critic, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are the top prospects being courted to run as an independent candidate against Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Mitt Romney, the Republican’s 2012 presidential nominee, is among a group of Republicans actively leading the independent candidate effort, according to a Washington Post report. Sources tell the Post Romney has personally reached out to both men in recent days. (more…)

U.S. CoC President: What is This Trump You Speak of ?…

In the continuing saga showcasing the mountain of evidence exemplifying the insufferable disconnect from the elites who control the legislative agenda of DC, the head weasel stands up to opine. 
During a U.S. Chamber of Commerce meeting in Washington DC, President Tom Donohue outlines how his constituency is flummoxed by this Trump person they keep hearing of.  Who is he? and what does this mean for the $300+ million they have paid congress for passage of the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal, they ask…..
wine-snob-mantom donohue
[…]  U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue said that his members are scratching their heads and searching for answers about how the billionaire businessman would operate if he wins the White House in November.
“I hear mostly concern from our members,” Donohue told reporters during a trade briefing at the Chamber in Washington.
Donohue said he hears questions like, “Who is this guy? What do we know about him? How will he behave?

The Fallacy of False Choice: Why Bill Kristol Keeps Talking Up Another Option….

There is a new awakening amid the electorate; one that has been a long time coming, but it is finally here.  More Americans are aware of the UniParty than ever before.

FACT:  When both teams in the Super Bowl are owned by the same person, the Lombardi Trophy is destined to end up the same cabinet regardless of who wins.

There is only one party in Washington DC, the UniParty.  They are funded by the same ownership, Wall Street; and their legislative victories end up with the same benefactors.  The candidacy of Donald Trump represents a second party option for the first time in two decades.
bill kristoltrump washington
As a consequence, when Bill Kristol advocates for a Ben Sasse or Mitt Romney candidacy, he is framing the fallacy of false choice.  Kristol can claim his framework is more than a Potemkin village attempt as a counter argument, but the truth is evident in reality.
Here’s proof, empirical evidence, of the UniParty construct.

Gnats and Irrelevant Nuts – The Economically Dissonant Opposition…

Beyond the larger context of Globalists VS Nationalists, the internal opposition to Common Sense economic conservatism/nationalism can be fundamentally broken down into two categories:

♦  The first group are those who are fundamentally naive about large and historic economic issues; and how the economy was changed, forced to change, through the past forty years by financial interests who created a second, “false“, paper economy.
This first group is generally young, pseudo-intellectual, and their only reference has been while formally educated within the last thirty years (they’re under 50).   Most of the oppositional (conservative) punditry falls into this category.  Important to note, this group is also joined by the majority of politicians who are approximately the same age.
Never trump crowd
♦  The second group are those who truly know better; they are older and wiser, they know the truth because they saw it unfold.  However, they are also financially dependent on retention of a narrative that sold the change in the past 40 years.  These are the willfully blind who have sold-out to the benefit of, and enrichment from, the false economy.
This second group is intent on retaining a historic set of false assumptions by fraud and deception.  Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Chris Matthews and Hugh Hewitt fit into this second grouping.  Their framework echo-chambered and passed down to group #1.

Mr. Trump Goes To Washington…

Lets be politically and intellectually honest. At the scheduled meeting today between Donald Trump and Paul Ryan, Speaker Ryan needs Trump more than Nominee Trump needs Ryan.
A strong argument can be made Ryan set up last weeks media construct, including the call to Jake Tapper requesting a CNN interview, to retain his own relevance.

Against a growing electoral insurgency openly dismissing the Omnibus version of conservatism represented by Ryans’ inept and ineffective and self-centered leadership, Lyin’ Ryan could soon to be seated at the pouty table if he doesn’t seem important.
The pouty table is currently occupied by the dispatched professionally irrelevant members of congress (identified by their hashtag profiles).  Hashtag Gnats sitting together with most current radio talk show hosts, and almost all of the beltway punditry and opinion writers.  However, there’s still plenty of room for more.

Donald Trump Should Take Up Paul Ryan on Offer To Resign From Convention….

Considering the long history of legislative abuse carried out by the insufferable GOPe, and knowing the only way to rid the apparatus of the corrupting infection is to cut out clear margins, Donald Trump would be well advised to take Paul Ryan up on his offer to resign his chairmanship at the national convention.

In addition, and considering the patriotic bench available for immediate dispatch, Donald Trump could request Reince Preibus resign from his post as RNC head and immediately replace him with a more favorable and competent executive.
We’re completely serious about this proposition.  Presumptive nominee Donald Trump is holding all the leverage he needs, the leverage of ‘We The People’ – and none of the customary party insiders should be trusted with any of the national campaign constructs, especially the financial matters.
