(Via Front Page)  It’s not a story out of the Soviet Union though Oleg Atbashian, an artist, activist and commentator, had gotten in trouble for defying the authorities there too.
“Back in my Soviet dissident days, when I was collecting signatures in defense of Andrei Sakharov, I was screamed at, threatened, and lectured by the KGB and Communist functionaries. What I never imagined was that in the United States, the land of the free, I would not only be subjected to similar treatment, but go to jail,” Oleg writes.
But that’s exactly what happened to him.
Oleg’s mixture of art and satire took off with Communists for Kerry. He’s the mastermind behind The People’s Cube and his tweaking of the radical left and  its alliance with Islamic terrorists allowed him to continue the same fight he had pursued in the days of the Soviet Union. But as the US comes to resemble the USSR, political satire and activism carries a serious price. (more…)

Newt Gingrich appeared on Fox News last night to counter the faux-controversy of the Trump appointments:

If you were wondering just how massive the potential scope and long-term impact of a Trump victory might be, well, things just got even better/bigger.

In 2008 the DNC made a specific decision to go all-in with full throated radicalism and left-wing ideological moonbattery.   The social justice warriors took over the advocacy reins of the Democrat party.  Progressive purity was the litmus, climate and social justice was the cause celeb.  Obama was the vehicle, emotion drives the brand.

During the CBS 60 Minutes interview recorded on Friday afternoon, CBS correspondent Lesly Stahl badgered President-Elect Donald Trump about the false MSM narrative of Trump supporters intimidating people:

Lesley Stahl: Do you want to say anything to those people?
Donald Trump: I would say don’t do it, that’s terrible, ‘cause I’m gonna bring this country together.
Lesley Stahl: They’re harassing Latinos, Muslims–
Donald Trump: I am so saddened to hear that. And I say, “Stop it.” If it– if it helps. I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it.

Setting aside the ridiculous line of questioning, the issue surfaced: if the media was so concerned about Trump supporter violence, then why didn’t CBS release this interview segment on Friday evening instead of the ObamaCare segment they released?
Within the answer to that question you find out how the media constructs their manipulative narratives. (more…)

The riots and protests coordinated by the White House and professional left-wing organizations continue through day #5.
However, despite the MSM trying to attach responsibility to Trump, their intended purpose -to protect the Obama/Clinton legacy- is not yielding the desired results.  More and more people are looking toward the White House silence and beginning to understand the manipulative ideological intents of the professional antagonism.
President Obama is about to depart for Europe (Greece) and Peru (APEC summit) on his last foreign travel assignment.  Allowing President-Elect Trump to own the domestic media narrative under these circumstances is entirely too politically dangerous:

President-Elect Trump has effectively leveraged silence, and as a consequence forced President Obama to own the riots and protests.   Anticipate Obama’s attempt to distance himself from the violence of his own creation tomorrow afternoon.

This will not end well for shareholders of stocks in PepsiCo.  Macy’s business model collapsed after they took a similarly adversarial position toward candidate Donald Trump in 2015.  Now that Donald Trump has won the presidency, PepsiCo is following the same path as Macy’s.

Business organizations, and various boards of directorship, who hire these insufferable political activists within their corporations, are fools for allowing their shareholders to be put at risk by their Chief Executive Officers.

Trust me on this (we follow these impacts), regardless of whether or not you agree or disagree with Indra Nooyi sell any Pepsico stock asap.  If you have a 401K find out if it’s invested in PepsiCo and see if you can find a way out of it.

(Via Yahoo News) PepsiCo’s CEO said the election of Donald Trump as president was terrifying her employees.

“I had to answer a lot of questions from my daughters, from our employees. They were all in mourning,” PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi told Andrew Ross Sorkin at The New York Times’ DealBook conference on Thursday.

“Our employees were all crying,” she said. (more…)

A good article in CFP outlines some of the transparent risks inherent in the immediate behavior of the radical left toward a Donald Trump administration.  However, the article itself doesn’t lend enough credit toward the intellectual acumen of the president elect.
[…]  Obama wants protection. He wants guarantees from Trump that he will be shielded from something he or somebody right next to him is totally guilty of. What could that be? Whom could that be?

Him? Valerie? Michelle? Hillary or Bill have something on him and he wants them protected?
I don’t know. Something really, really, really bad. Something Trump already knows, or knows he will find out about once he takes control of the Government.
And even then it will be like living in some Byzantine or ancient Saxon royal court of intrigue—maniacally dangerous—until he can clean out the living vermin and Obamanized sycophants. He will need his protective detail, AND the personally gunned private armies his predecessors built for themselves. (link)

We’ve already addressed much of the substantive questioning that surfaces within the column.  President Obama needs ‘terms’ – the specific decisions his handlers made to construct his entire legacy were tenuously built upon the use of his pen and phone.

Hillary Clinton and President Obama’s ideological mobs continue the organized anarchy in the streets on the second night following the election. Riots, arson, property damage and looting continue via Clinton/Obama supporters.
Portland, Oregon:

President Obama is playing a dangerous game of self-preservation, by allowing the streets of Democrat controlled metropolitan areas to collapse into anarchy.  Using his community organizing leverage, the fresh prince of Bill Ayers is counting on his ability to pressure Donald Trump into promising himself and Clinton will escape investigation and/or prosecution.

You have to know Florida to understand Florida.  In many ways it’s a microcosm of the larger U.S. electorate, everyone is from somewhere else; and in some ways it’s a unique place known only to generational crackers, which has nothing whatsoever to do with race or hyphens.
If you grew up in Florida you’ll already know most of this review.  Or if, like me, your childhood Tupperware was a matching set of Cool Whip containers, well, it should make sense too…
After the primary season voting we shared some insight into what the results meant for the general election overall.  We even made some predictions based on that result.  It’s now seven months later, and despite the media noise, the reality of what’s taking place on the ground aligns with all previous expectations. (more…)

“Donald Trump’s supporters are angry“, or “uneducated”, or “unenlightened”, or (Fill_In_The_Blank).  So goes the latest round of media talking points as the election draws near.
Meanwhile, don’t pay attention to that 25% increase in ObamaCare premiums you just received… look away,… look away… The corporate media narrative controllers are fully engaged.
The gaslighting is extreme as the same entities utilize their microphones in a brutal attempt to create a self fulfilling prophecy.  In essence, what they are really trying to save is themselves.  However, the reality disconnect only solidifies their irrelevance.

At this point, anyone still trying to convince us this entire assembly of our union is headed in the right direction, well, they might want to revisit their proximity to the 2016 election ballpark. Because they’re not just out of the city – they’re also out of the same state the election ballpark is located in….. But then again, the media know that.

David Mamet had a famous saying, essentially: …‘in order for genuine liberals to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things’… By pretending ‘not to know’ there is no guilt, no actual connection to conscience, denial of truth allows easier trespass.

However, there’s a level of anger far deeper and more consequential than expressed rage or visible behavior, it’s called Cold Anger.
Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. For those who carry it, no conversation is needed when we meet. You cannot poll or measure it specifically because most who carry it avoid discussion. And that decision has nothing whatsoever to do with any form of correctness.
