U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue
Explanation HERE – As we shared in January 2014
Influence HERE – As we outlined the Cantor Connection last week.
… and HERE is the previous warning to Cantor – obviously one he ignored.
WASHINGTON DC – Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is planning to headline a National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) fundraiser for Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), the committee confirmed.
The fundraiser asks attendees to contribute $1,000 to $2,500 for individuals and $2,000 to $5,000 for PACs. And it’s certain to be a welcome development for Cochran as he enters into what’s expected to be an expensive three-week campaign before a runoff election against primary challenger Chris McDaniel.

Folks *THIS* is exactly why patriotic Kentuckians need to hunker down, bite their lip and vote for Democrat Allison Grimes in the general election this fall. Is Allison Grimes a liberal moonbat? Oh heck yes… she ain’t moderate – she’s a loon. But after you read this article, citing the justification from McConnell for McConnell, you’ll probably recognize it’s better to vote in an honest liberal moonbat than keep around a lying Benedict Arnold who lies, manipulates and schemes, as a matter of his inherent constitution and cannot be trusted.
KENTUCKY – Mitch McConnell hasn’t spoken to Matt Bevin since primary night — but he’s convinced that Bevin voters will come home to Team Mitch in November.
Senate Minority Leader McConnell (R-Ky.) appeared alongside conservative icon Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) at a Friday presser in Louisville to tout party unity, hoping to heal the Kentucky GOP’s wounds incurred during a vicious primary contest between Bevin and McConnell, in which the insurgent Bevin received the backing of 35 percent of Republican voters.

(WASHINGTON DC) – While the president pounds his fist and proclaims he’s “madder than hell” over the Veterans Affairs scandal and then just asks for more time to review and investigate, House Republicans are getting pretty tired of the do-nothing Senate and a president who claims to only learn about problems in his administration on cable news.
Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., sits on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee in the House and she told [Larry O’Connor] Wednesday on WMAL radio in Washington, D.C., that the House has passed a dozen bills for reform of the VA and they are collecting dust on [Sen.] Harry Reid’s desk: (more…)
With the primary race behind him Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is now free to engage the instructions of Tom Donohue and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (before the November 2014 General election). The Chamber President has paid Mitch McConnell to deliver the following:
• Comprehensive Immigration reform to include Amnesty.
• The full implementation of ObamaCare without repeal.
• Federal Common Core Education Standards.
Thanks to the 60% of Republicans in the state of Kentucky. The BIG GOVERNMENT Establishment will now destroy the last remaining hope for a constitutional republic. (more…)
Kentucky candidate Matt Bevin and family
Our Father who art in heaven; please put roadblocks in the path of McConnell supporters. Turtles slowly crossing the road will do just nicely – with a smidgen of irony not withstanding. Through You all things are possible.
Please allow a sense of righteous motivation, protection and positive energy to flow mysteriously through the hearts of the patriots who boldly walk affirmed to save our republic and vote for Matt Bevin. Deliver the righteous to the polls with quick dispatch, as we remember it is quite possible for David to slay Goliath.
It was the Tennessean and Kentuckian long rifle militia who eventually turned the tide of the revolutionary war in favor of the republic. We pray for that same committed spirit today. In your name – AMEN

(Via Politico) James Murdoch and News Corp’s PAC have both made donations to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s reelection campaign, according to his most recent campaign filing report.
Murdoch, son of News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch, donated $2,600 to McConnell’s primary and $2,400 to his general election fund. According to the report, he’s donated $5,000 to both funds in this election cycle to date.
The younger Murdoch, who is currently deputy COO of 21st Century Fox, was long seen as the heir apparent of News Corp until he fell out of favor after the 2011 News of the World phone-hacking scandal in Britain. Lachlan Murdoch, James’ older brother, was named to top spots on the boards of News Corp and 21st Century Fox in March, suggesting that he is in line to take over the media giant.
News Corp PAC also gave $5,000 to McConnell’s general election fund, according to the filing. (more…)
(Via Politico) Sasse, the former Bush administration official, received about 49 percent of the vote, according to an Associated Press vote tally with roughly two-thirds of precincts reporting. Omaha banker Sid Dinsdale, who had picked up last-minute momentum, received 23 percent of the vote and former state treasurer Shane Osborn received 21 percent.
[…] Sasse also had endorsements from Sen. Ted Cruz and former Gov. Sarah Palin, both of whom attended a rally with him last month. (more…)
(Via NRO) Republicans like Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, Grover Norquist, et al. who insist that the House GOP pass Chuck Schumer’s amnesty bill are saying that Obama can be trusted to enforce whatever new immigration laws we come up
with.
As if there weren’t already abundant evidence of the absurdity of such trust, a Buzzfeed story adds to the pile.
The story is about disagreement between Schumer and the White House over plans to water down enforcement even more. The less-sophisticated among the anti-borders Left are demanding that the ongoing review of deportation policy, designed to make it more “humane,” result in dramatic new curbs on the removal of illegal aliens or, even better, de facto amnesty for all illegals along the lines of Obama’s illegal DREAM Act–style DACA amnesty.
