There’s something almost, well, laughable about how the professional political class stick to their only frame of reference, ‘history’, when it comes to the modern insurgency of non-political candidate Donald Trump.

[For those who were not around in the first 100 days, click the embed links as you read along to enlarge the bigger picture.]

This example is Politico, but the same has been written by scores of other political writers:

[…]  With fewer than 80 days to go and lagging in the polls, the Republican nominee will host a rally Tuesday in Austin, Texas, and another on Wednesday in Jackson, Mississippi. Both cities sit inside strongly Republican states that are safe and uncompetitive. (link)

A well-informed and ‘outside-the-beltway’ follower of current political events laughs at the “lagging in the polls” part. I digress…. “media-polls“, it’s all the Pavlovian Political Class know to guide them.

Following a Hispanic outreach meeting by the Trump campaign numerous media outlets began reporting that Donald Trump was changing his position on immigration, specifically deportation of illegal immigrants. The Trump campaign immediately rebuked the false media reports last night.

Senator Jeff Sessions appeared on Fox News this morning to continue asserting the campaign message that illegal border crossing will be halted, deportation of illegal aliens will be enforced and there is no substantive change to Donald Trump’s immigration position.

The media loves to use the term “deportation force” to manufacture an narrative of a new controversy.  However, there is already a federal agency called ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) who routinely arrest and deport illegal aliens.  Despite the media protestations to the contrary ‘deportation is not a new concept’, we have been deporting people for decades.

CNN manipulation of “news” is not anything new, there’s entire memes generated by the false and misleading reporting that stems from the propaganda machine. However, even for CNN this one is a step too far.

Reporting on the Milwaukee violence, riots and protests CNN producer Ana Cabrera files a report claiming the sister of Sylville Smith, the armed man shot by police during a chase, was “calling for peace”.

However, CNN conveniently cut out the rest of Sherelle Smith’s message, where she was actually calling for rioting protesters to go and “burn down the suburbs”. (more…)

Sometimes this stuff just makes you laugh (inappropriately) out loud, at the worst possible moments….  Way, W.A.Y, too funny:

WASHINGTON TIMES – The Commission on Presidential Debates announced on Monday the five polls it will use to determine which candidates receive invitations to the upcoming debates in September and October.

The national polls that will be used to determine eligibility for the three presidential debates are the ABC-Washington Post, CBS-New York Times, CNN-Opinion Research Corporation, Fox News and NBC-Wall Street Journal polls.

Last night an officer involved shooting of an armed habitual offender led to riots, looting, arson and violence in Milwaukee Wisconsin.  Nothing cries out for justice like a stolen set of hair weaves. Unfortunately, Milwaukee is on the list as one the the top 10 cities with hidden racial violence and local media frozen with political correctness.

Today, fearing another night of chaos, violence and mayhem, Governor Scott Walker has activated the national guard.  Fortunately, the officer involved was also black.

UPDATE: Milwaukee police officer who fatally shot armed suspect is black. More to come.

BREAKING: Milwaukee mayor says photo shows 'without question' that a man shot by police had a gun in his hand.

WISCONSIN –  Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has declared a state of emergency in Milwaukee County and has activated the National Guard in response to the Milwaukee riots last night.

The shooting of a 23-year-old ignited some tensions and led to rioting last night. One officer was hit with a brick, one squad car was trashed, and another squad car and several business were set on fire. (more…)

I doubt you could find a more representative story to exemplify the current state of American journalism than this one.

Summary Version:  A 62-year-old guy in New Jersey was minding his own business – walking down the street, wearing a Donald Trump T-Shirt….

He was attacked by a motorist who stopped his car, got out, and beat the 62-year-old Trump supporter with a crowbar.

The New Jersey news article was written  by a reporter named Jessica Mazolla.  Read The Article HERE.   Please notice The headline reads:

“Man’s Trump T-shirt sparked crowbar attack, cops say”…

So the Trump T-Shirt caused the guy to get beaten with a crowbar…. You getting this?

It’s the “her skirt was too short” argument customarily heard from rape apologists.  But, oh, wait, it gets better.  The reporter, Jessica Mazzola, gets called out on the ridiculously biased presentation by a few readers in the NJ.COM comment section.

She responds: (more…)

Remember the discussions of “optics” and trying to manufacture the perception of support for Hillary Clinton?   It’s all a pretense; a fraud; a corporate media ruse.

Well, a great example comes today from “The Hill”, an on-line media outlet promoting the speech of candidate Clinton.  Notice anything, well, ‘odd’ about the picture:

It’s a 100% photoshopped image (link) assembling multiple rally crowd pictures to give the impression of Hillary Clinton in St. Petersburg.

Hillary is holding a rally at the St. Pete Colliseum in down town St. Petersburg. Located at 353 4th Ave North, the Coliseum venue holds approximately 4,000 people.  Hillary Clinton didn’t come close to filling it: (more…)

After the Brexit vote, the immediate and continual cries from the failed globalists within the ‘Remain’ camp exploited a narrative of Scotland who had a majority vote to stay in the EU.

However, the most current poll (full pdf below) now offering Scotland the option to leave the United Kingdom and align with the European Union,  finds the majority of Scots want to stay in the UK even if it means they cannot access the single-market system of the European Union.

Additionally, there are many indications that Britain is on the cusp of a major economic boom as a result of the EU Brexit.  This poll is a significant fail for the narrative of the European and Western globalists.

(Reuters) Most Scots still back remaining in the United Kingdom despite Britons voting to leave the European Union, a move which was opposed by the majority in Scotland, according to an opinion poll published on Saturday.

Scotland’s nationalist First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said the June 23 vote for Brexit had put Scottish independence back on the agenda just two years after it was rejected in a referendum. (more…)

The Marilyn Mosby press conference today (dropping charges in Baltimore), followed the carefully scripted DNC Convention presentation of the Black Lives Matter “Mothers of The Movement” last night.

Anyone watching current events who claims these two events were not strategically timed to occur sequentially is being obtuse.

Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake is the DNC Convention Chairperson by design. The timing of the press conference, by Baltimore Attorney General Marilyn Mosby, was also by design.   The Democrat party is notorious for framing the narrative and the optics which fuel the media cycles.

We predicted this sequence of events.

We predicted this exact sequence of events.

A sequence which will culminate in the use of another intentionally delayed racial criminal justice event; the trial of Officer Michael Slager in South Carolina (begins, October 31st 2016 – Halloween).

Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby has dropped all charges against the remaining police officers (video below).  All charges were dropped against all the officers who faced trial in connection with the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray April 2015.

The decision was announced during pretrial motions for Officer Garrett Miller, who was the next to face charges of second-degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment.

Four Baltimore officers previously stood trial.  Judge Barry Williams acquitted three: Edward Nero, Officer Caesar Goodson Jr. and Lt. Brian Rice.

William Porter’s trial ended in a hung jury in December, and was scheduled for a retrial in  September. Garrett Miller was beginning today, and Alicia White had a court date in October.  The charges against these officers has been withdrawn.

However, stunningly, in announcing her decision Marilyn Mosby actually blamed the black judge, Barry Williams, for her decision.  Excerpt from the Baltimore Sun (emphasis mine): (more…)
