This is an evolving story #BestSummerEver – Due to the revelations within the WikiLeaks DNC emails, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz has been barred from speaking at the Democrat Convention.

In an effort to diffuse the growing controversy, and trying to split the baby, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has just resigned her position as head of the DNC effective AFTER the Philadelphia convention…..  NOT GOOD ENOUGH says the majority of convention attendees so… stay tuned!    UPDATE:  Donna Brazille to fill in?

PHILADELPHIA – […] A Hillary Clinton source expects Wasserman Schultz to be gone by the end of the day, while another Democratic source said President Barack Obama or a proxy for him may need to get involved and call Wasserman Schultz because her posture is that she was appointed by the president.

Wasserman Schultz is holding on, believing “she can weather this,” a source told CNN
Short of her resigning, both critics and supporters within the DNC are demanding she issue a statement to deal with the many issues raised by the release of a trove of DNC emails by Wikileaks that appeared to show the party favoring Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the primary process. (more…)

The professional party apparatus, ie. Team Clinton, just gave the Bernie supporters the biggest F.U. so far in Philadelphia.

After the DNC locked the doors so hundreds of Team Bernie supporters could not get in to attend the rules meeting, and after locking out media during the discussion, an effort to fully eliminate superdelegates in future elections failed.

A delegate for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders offered an amendment to get rid of superdelegates (party insiders who can vote for the candidate of their choice at the convention).

Sanders supporters accurately identified it was superdelegates who gave Hillary Clinton too much of an advantage in their battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.

However, the party power structure will not allow such efforts.  The amendment was defeated by a rules committee vote of 108-58.  Although it earned enough support to force a floor vote at the convention should Team Bernie do so.

Following the vote, the media was allowed back in to witness, the Rules Committee subsequently voted down several other compromise amendments; including measures: to give superdelegates one-tenth of a vote each, ban lobbyists from being superdelegates, and bar superdelegates from voting on the convention’s first ballot.  They all failed.

Earlier today WikiLeaks released more documents showing how the Democrat National Committee (DNC) specifically worked to destroy the candidacy of Bernie Sanders in a united effort with the media to support Hillary Clinton.

The revelations within the release are quite astounding, and unfortunately confirm all the prior suspicions of the Bernie Sanders supporters about the democrat party apparatus working with the Clinton campaign to eliminate the threat posed by Senator Sanders.

There are multiple examples of specific activity where the DNC is colluding with the media to undermine Sanders.  A few examples are below, and we’ll dig in to some of those stories later.  However, within one part of the email release there’s another angle confirming something we have covered here exhaustively.

Gabriel Sherman at the New York Magazine is claiming Fox News TV host Megyn Kelly was one of Roger Ailes sexual harassment victims.

(New Yorker) As a chorus of prominent Fox News women have gone public defending Roger Ailes against the wave of sexual-harassment allegations sparked by former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson’s lawsuit, the network’s biggest star, Megyn Kelly, has been conspicuously silent. Kelly’s refusal to join in Ailes’s orchestrated defense has led to speculation about why.

This confrontation has been a long time coming, and a longer time deserved.

Sheriff David Clarke appears on set with Don Lemon who cuts off the feed and sends the show to commercial because he doesn’t like the pushback.

When they come back from commercial, Clarke doesn’t let up.  Notice how Don Lemon demands a civil conversation then doesn’t let Clarke finish a sentence. Watch Video

When supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg targeted Donald Trump with her personal attacks and invectives many people were stunned.
Many pundits and Legal-types were aghast, because the ramifications were/are considerable given the number of executive branch legal issues that end up in SCOTUS.  Under a President Trump, Ginsburg’s clear bias would mean solid arguments she would have to recuse herself from any cases originating within a Trump administration.
But from Justice Ginsburg’s perspective she has nothing to lose.   Ginsburg is all in for Hillary Clinton to win the election.  Ginsburg is not going to remain on the court in 2017.  Ergo the “recuse issue” is moot. The next POTUS is going to select Gingsburg’s replacement.  The walk-back is face saving for the cause only.

“On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them,” Justice Ginsburg said in a statement on Thursday. “Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect.” (link)

We will locate video, and transcript, as soon as possible. [Update Video Added] However, during an incredulous speech delivered at the memorial service for fallen Dallas police officers, President Obama just gave one of the most tonally disconnected speeches we’ve ever witnessed.
If we did not know better we’d almost believe that President Obama forgot where he was.  While staring at the families of the murdered police officers (seated in the front row) President Obama actually said:

…”And I understand these protests, I see em’, they can be messy” …. followed seconds later by … “police can get hurt”…

In a very casual, unsympathetic and almost incredulous *meh-stylistic* presentation. Unreal. Here’s video (prompted to 32:20 for context): (more…)

There is only one party in Washington DC, the UniParty.  The professional political class support themselves beyond all other ideological factors. These are modern realities.

President Obama is in a very tenuous position this week as a nation has been stunned by the targeting of police officers.  Indeed, there is a solid argument to be made that President Obama created the antagonism toward law enforcement with various speeches and cursory accusations of unequal treatment.
As a modern social justice president who embraces radical extremist groups like Black Lives Matter, and as an executive community activist who has used the cabinet offices of his administration to leverage social change, President Obama has embraced many divisive entities and expressed ideological alignment with their cause.
The gunman in Dallas who targeted white police officers, specifically because of the color of their skin, is just one visible consequence from a President who rails against a system of law and order.  Obama’s ideology is more comfortable amid the chaos.  (more…)

Unbelievable, President Obama needs to get his Black Lives Matter crew under control quickly… Things are rapidly spiraling out of control.
LAKESHIRE • A former Affton High School football standout forced his way into a South County home and was shot and killed by an off-duty officer inside after a Facebook dispute over Black Lives Matter apparently boiled over late Saturday afternoon.
That’s what can be pieced together from the accounts of police and an uncle of Tyler Gebhard, who said the young man had been struggling with mental health issues.
“He walked over there and into a gunfight,” Gebhard’s uncle, Patrick Brogan said, drawing on accounts offered by friends of his nephew. “When he got there, he was met with a gun and the guy killed him.”  (more…)

Executive Level Gaslighting – Speaking at a press conference in Poland, President Obama actually said it is “very hard to untangle the motives” of the shooter in Dallas who killed five police officers Thursday evening. This statement is despite the shooter telling police exactly what his motive entailed.

“First of all, I think it’s very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter.  I’ll leave that to psychologists and people who study these kinds of incidents … I think the danger is that we somehow suggest the act of a troubled individuals speaks to some larger political statement across the country.”…
