Dana Perino and Megyn Kelly give high-fives !!  Watch for it….

A newly released poll by Mommouth University shows Ben Carson pulling even with Donald Trump in Iowa.  The Poll Data shows three important aspects:

• #1) Dr Carson finding large gains in Iowa support from Evangelical Women who don’t like the Tea Party;
• #2) The entire GOPe “splitter team” at 27% (w/ 10% Fiorina); and, more alarmingly
• #3) 67% Favorable opinion of Carly Fiorina.

The full Monmouth University poll data is embedded below.  However, the key aspect to focus on is one we’ve outlined already; the push for Ben Carson is a Team Jeb media strategy – and yes, ideological employees do what their ideologically aligned employers perceive as favorable.
Jeb Bush sycophant Dana Perino and anti-Trump acolyte Megyn Kelly have been pushing Dr. Ben Carson as a non-vulgarian alternative for Donald Trump.  (please pay attention to the tweet dates/times below – studying actionable behavior is not conspiracy theory) (more…)

Donald Trump is pouring sunlight upon the entire crowd behind the GOPe curtain.  Two weeks ago you saw George Will saying “the Trump supporters (vulgarians) needed to come to the Republican party on our terms, not theirs“; last week Charles Krauthammer said “it’s impossible to deport illegal aliens“; meanwhile the entire class of elite republicans are apoplectic at the thought of Donald Trump winning the GOP primary.
As the sunlight poured upon them another professional GOP Consultant, Rick Wilson, took aim at the Republican base, and hours later directed his hatred toward Ann Coulter saying: “Does Trump pay you more for anal“.

However, the latest sunlight comes from GOP consultant Alex Castellanos who was questioned about how the GOP could stop Donald Trump.  As shared via Breitbart: (more…)

Here we go again.  It’s that time of year when we get to see media elevated President Obama smack around the best the GOP can offer.  Mr. Mumbles and Sir Cry-a-Lot, again to be out maneuvered, out strategized and publicly ridiculed.

WASHINGTON – […] Obama also called upon lawmakers to craft a budget plan when they return. There are only a few legislative days left for them to do so – or the government could come to a screeching halt, as it did in 2014.
“Congress also hasn’t passed a budget,” Obama said. “They’ve had all year to do this.”

I’ve prompted the video to the budget part so you don’t have to suffer through the lead in:

The last time a federal budget was passed into law was September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008 and it was signed by President Bush. President Obama has not had a single day in office with a federal budget, EVER. (more…)

The GOPe plan is struggling.  Their candidate is in single digits; but not to worry – they’ve got plans, they’ve always had plans.  FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.

The Super-PAC that Jeb Bush constructed, well, Jeb and Tom Donohue, and Mitch McConnell and the Wall Street power brokers who planned the entire gig, prior to the announcement of his candidacy, have a plan.
The problem is they’re having to pull the trigger earlier than expected:

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The heavily funded super PAC backing Republican Jeb Bush will spend at least $10 million on television time in the earliest voting presidential primary states, the first salvo in a massive TV ad campaign to support the former Florida governor’s bid for the Republican nomination.
Officials with Right to Rise USA say they will buy time in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina TV markets and on cable television in the three states. Ads are scheduled to begin in Iowa and New Hampshire on Sept. 15, in South Carolina a week later and then run continuously through the end of the year. (link)

So who exactly is behind this Right To Ruse USA Super-PAC?  (more…)

Last night on Megyn Kelly’s Fox TV show she announced a 1.5 week vacation returning on 8/24.  Lil Miss stated she hadn’t taken a vacation in six months.  Of course the 8-day memorial day break, and 6-day July Fourth break, don’t count as vacation for the intense 4 day work-week schedules of a princess pundit, or something.
However, given the scope of the fallout from Megyn’s intentional set-up of candidate Donald Trump, and the severity of the backlash therein, it’s not difficult to see why the outline of this NY Magazine article is essentially correct.
Unfortunately for Ms. Kelly, the reality of her position has slapped her in the face like a cold fish.

NY Mag […]  Having backed down to the GOP front-runner and all but sacrificed one of his biggest stars to appease the conservative base — a.k.a. Fox viewers — Ailes has set a dangerous precedent. The message is clear: Fox reports, but the audience decides.  (link)

LOL, only in the mind of a progressive publication would listening to your customer be considered “a dangerous precedent“; I digress.   Alas, egos the size of Princess Megyn’s need respite, from the fish.  And princesses never eat crow. (more…)

Here comes the beginning of the second holy grail goal of the Obama administration. This one comes with guarantees of billions for Chicago Jesus and his ideological co-horts. Get ready for “Carbon Trading” in the U.S. energy sector along a similar vein to the historical “Mortgage Trading” in the housing sector.

Listen closely tomorrow and you’ll hear some familiar catch phrases. Remember “if you like your plan you can keep your plan”, or “if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”, or “it will save the average family $2,500 per year on health insurance premiums”, or “we have to pass the bill (regulation) to find out what’s in it” etc… the nouns will change, the verbs and adjectives will remain the same.

WASHINGTON DC – President Barack Obama will Monday unveil what he called the “biggest, most important step we’ve ever taken” to fight climate change, a sensitive issue central to his legacy.

The White House will release the final version of America’s Clean Power Plan, a set of environmental rules and regulations that will home in on the pollution from the nation’s power plants, setting limits on power-plant carbon emissions.

Laying out how climate change was a threat to the health, well being and security of millions of Americans, and adding that time was of the essence, Obama said in a video released early Sunday: “Climate change is not a problem for another generation. Not anymore.” (more…)

On June 22nd we wrote:

[…]  It won’t stop folks.  These same people will tear it all down, and will eventually be telling the people in Massachusetts that Plymouth Rock is a symbol of white oppression and racism.

And so today:

BOSTON – The Christopher Columbus statue in the North End was vandalized yesterday — with red paint dumped on its head and “Black Lives Matter” emblazoned on its base — in a defacing that left one local leader frustrated the cherished site was used for protest.

“For someone who was in the neighborhood, I certainly sympathize with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ discussions,” said state Rep. Aaron Michlewitz. “But, I think there’s a better way to get your point across than to vandalize public property — even with the complexities that surround Christopher Columbus’ history.”

Daunasia Yancey, founder and lead organizer at Black Lives Matter Boston, said her group wasn’t behind it, but “we fully support it.” (more…)

Starts at 15:08. As true today as when he first mentioned:

A strange motion from a 2013 cop killer case in Virginia sniffs eerily similar to the beginning of a “Disparate Impact” defense.

In an otherwise ‘under-the-radar’ murder case involving a suspect named Russell E. Brown III, charged with killing Virginia State Police trooper Junius A. Walker, a defense motion surfaces that could potentially be alarming.  The defense team wants to investigate the racial composition of Dinwiddie County grand jury members:

Brown is charged with eight felony counts, including capital murder of a police officer, in the March 7, 2013, killing of Walker, 63, who was shot in his police cruiser on Interstate 85 after the officer rolled up to Brown’s vehicle stopped on the shoulder to see if Brown needed any help.

(Via Richmond.Com)  […] Capital-murder suspect Russell E. Brown III’s public defenders also want to investigate the composition of Dinwiddie County’s grand jury system over the past five years in an apparent effort to detect racial or selection bias in the grand jury process, according to recent court filings in the case.
