The Baltimore prosecution team led by Marily Mosby have announced their intention to retry the case against William Porter on June 13th, 2016.  Oddly the trial against Caesar Goodson is still scheduled to begin on Jan 6th.

(Via Baltimore Sun) Baltimore Police Officer William G. Porter will be retried in the death of Freddie Gray on June 13, according to court officials.

Porter’s first trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office ended last week with a hung jury on all four counts, leading Judge Barry G. Williams to declare a mistrial. (more…)

The driver who intentionally drove into a crowd on the Las Vegas strip has been identified as Lakeisha Holloway, age 24.  However, local law enforcement are “uncomfortable” discussing the motive of the attacker.  She has been charged with murder.

There’s a brief profile from Lakeisha available here from April 2012 when she was given an community award in Portland Oregon –   Portland Opportunities Industrial Center (POIC) event April 2012: (more…)

A new poll from Illinois shows candidate Donald Trump retaining a sizable lead amid the top tier candidates.  2,104 voters polled (margin of error 2.5%):

(Chicago Sun Times) Trump, at 30 percent, is the top GOP presidential candidate in Illinois, according to a new poll, with double the points of Sens. Ted Cruz at 15 percent and Marco Rubio at 13 percent. (more…)

We previously pointed out the Immigration Scam angle on December 9th….

( Via Fox News ) The ever-widening investigation of the San Bernardino terrorist massacre has revealed at least two dubious marriages that experts say expose huge loopholes in the immigration system and continue to put national security at risk.

Federal authorities have charged Enrique Marquez with marriage fraud for his allegedly sham union with Mariya Chernykh, a Russian woman whose sister married the brother of terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook after first gaining residence through an earlier marriage. And of course, Farook’s own wife, Tashfeen Malik, who was killed along with him in a shootout with police following their Dec. 2 attack, married her way into the U.S. under suspicious circumstances.

Someone found something interesting on U-Tube.  Last night Hillary Clinton claimed ISIS was using propaganda videos containing Donald Trump.

First, here is Clinton’s claim – along with CNN quickly trying to divert attention away from it: “we’ll leave that aside”:

No-one has been able to substantiate Hillary Clinton, leading to many anticipating Team Clinton working furiously today to create a video they could point to and claim was the one she mentioned.

However, Perhaps this is the video Hillary was referencing; and if so, it would appear she misinterpreted the message (that’s typical of a Clinton though): (more…)

CBS coordinated with YouGov to present three “battleground state” panel polls today.  The polling methodology is rather peculiar because it’s not random sample polling, but rather targeted specifically to prior respondents of same, albeit earlier, YouGov polling.  They fill in the non-repeat respondents from other prior contacted buckets.

The downside to this panel-approach is it’s essentially like taking a focus group and tracking their trend over-time, filling in those who don’t show up for the next interview by reaching out to other focus groups to fill the void.  This type of on-line polling is not scientific and prone to flaws and/or manipulation by the interpreter of the data.

The pollster is reaching out to a specific data-set, and in order to achieve the needed total number they need to reach out to ‘known sub-sets‘ within their data-base.  In order for this approach to be useful – the integrity of the people gathering the data has to be beyond reproach.  (more…)

There are many people prone to concern whenever the “corporate media”, “professional political class” or “Park Row” attack their preferred candidate.  By allowing the MSM to generate your anxiety you are essentially allowing them to “gaslight”, and to succeed.

Most people don’t recognize they are victims of Stockholm Syndrome and/or Gaslighting when it occurs; it is such a frequent state of affairs it just seems like a normal disposition – It is not.   Politics are  downstream from popular culture.

In part, the elimination of corporate media influence is one of the reasons for the The Last Refuge to exist.   Think about how widely disconnected was the media narrative from the true events surrounding the Arab Spring, or the Trayvon Martin Case, or the Mike Brown shooting, or, well, you get the picture.

There are actually historical examples for populations that “awaken”, and realize their reference points were all manufactured control by State and State Sponsored Media apparatus – See the Polish Solidarity Movement. (more…)

Not Accidental: NOTE all the Republicans who voted for the Omnibus/Tax usurpation today are endorsing / supporting @JebBush or @marcorubio

Have you noticed Chris Christie being elevated by the same corporate media machine previously elevating Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina and Marco Rubio ?  This is not coincidental.

The problem for the GOPe Road Map has been the dominance of Donald Trump in disrupting their initial goals to nominate Jeb Bush with 10-20% of the primary vote.

Trump, as a populist “America First” frontrunner nominee was just never anticipated in their construct.

As soon as Trump eliminated the “splitter strategy” benefit – various GOPe approaches were deployed to overcome The Donald.   However, almost all of the subsequent maneuvers failed as Trump gained a more broad coalition of support.

The GOPe campaign road map has now evolved into a concerted effort to group a non-Trump coalition, this is why no “splitter” candidate is being urged to withdraw.

There is no doubt the DNC is 100% in the tank for Hillary Clinton; to claim otherwise is to be obtuse beyond the scope of intellectual honesty.  Bernie Sanders has been up against the Clinton machine for the past several months.  Things are now becoming untenable within the campaigns, and no-one does ‘nasty’ like the Clintons, no-one.

WASHINGTON DC – A civil war erupted within the Democratic Party on Friday after news that Bernie Sanders’ campaign took advantage of a technological glitch to access, search and save one of Hillary Clinton’s most valuable campaign assets — her voter files.

Tension rapidly escalated throughout the day as the Democratic National Committee cut off Sanders’ access to his own voter files, effectively crippling his field operation, and the senator retaliated by suing the party and accusing its leaders of plotting to hand the presidential nomination to Clinton.

By now everyone is aware the Omnibus Spending and Tax Provision bills, used by Republicans in lieu of an actual Fiscal Year 2016 budget (Thanks Boehner Inc), have passed today.

However, for the sake of clarity -and because in the current legislative climate so many refuse to believe reality- it must be absolutely noted, WITHOUT DOUBT, what took place.

Republicans control the House and Senate – specifically because we supported them into office – however, this spending/tax package was passed with DEMOCRAT SUPPORT.

Stop – Pause – Think.

Republican Majority Speaker of The House Paul Ryan and Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell passed a spending and tax bill supported by more Democrats than Republicans.

Let that sink in. (more…)
