Hillary Clinton called in to CNN’s Anderson Cooper program tonight for a brief interview.

After claiming the appearance of “lots of smoke, but no fire” regarding the pay-to-play scheme during her tenure as Secretary of State, Secretary Clinton refused to answer the question about Colin Powell calling her “a liar“.

When Cooper asked Secretary Clinton why she was not available to the press and has not held a press conference her response was: “Stay tuned there will be a lot of different opportunities for me to talk to the press.”

The “pay-to-play” scandal between the Clinton Foundation and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been defended by claiming Secretary Clinton took no actionable steps to change State Dept. policy as a result of payment to the Foundation.

However, as the relationships between the Foundation and the State Department gain increased scrutiny the “access” to Clinton appears to be the purpose for the payments.  Sooner or later someone is going to mention the mysterious 2012 “Thanksgiving Holiday Fire” directly above Hillary’s office in the State Dept.

WASHINGTON DC – Hillary Clinton’s national finance director has emerged in newly released emails as what one watchdog called the “middle” man between her State Department and family foundation, sharing donor information with a top Clinton confidante when he was working at the foundation.

Dennis Cheng, before joining the campaign, worked for over three years as the foundation’s director of development and before that as deputy chief of protocol in Clinton’s State Department. (more…)

There were two types of people who attended CPAC in March 2016 and gave Speaker Paul “Omnibus” Ryan (the former chair of the budget, well, actually, non-budget committee) a standing ovation.

• Type one was the professional political class, the UniParty membership, the GOPe; those who happily welcomed Omnibus and who gleefully ignore the seventh spending  of the nearly $1 trillion, “one-time” 2009 stimulus bill.
• Type two, was those who are overcome with battered conservative syndrome and see nothing wrong with giving thanks to their abuser.

One of those attendees was the former partner of GOPe mouthpiece Frank Luntz, and current campaign manager for Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway.

Whether Conway is the hand placing the scorpion into the bed sheets of Trump, or whether she is the scorpion itself, is yet to be determined.  However, one thing appears quite clear, she was not put into the Trump campaign to ensure his election.  Exactly the opposite appears true.

Conway’s current action, the ‘too-cute-by-half’ schtick on Trump’s immigration policy, is factually undermining the Trump campaign.  Then again, shouldn’t this be expected when fellow consulting traveler Luntz and herself hold the same professional immigration objectives outlined in their historic support for Marco ‘gang-of-eight‘ Rubio.

It’s well known, the UniParty has a collective immigration agenda, amnesty (under various “comprehensive” parseltongue auspices), and a quasi-open border approach granting virtually unlimited immigration use policies.

We’ve put together a great deal of urgent research, similar in scope to what was needed to discover/understand the intentions behind the October 2014 through February 2015 RNC consultant meeting(s), which became the precursor to the GOPe Splitter Strategy expose’.

I’m assembling the data points now for an overnight (hopefully) publish.  However, as a prerequisite, and in anticipation of a large number of people being caught off-guard,  we’re respectfully requesting everyone to remind themselves of a warning from August of 2015.

READ THIS With A Sense of Urgency

After being exposed for manipulative twisting of data, Monmouth University pollster Patrick Murray ran to Politico for cover.  The essence of his defense is that his formula for changing the data, Patrick’s “methodology” or “weighting”, is his interpretation of who will actually show up to vote in November.  In an effort to save face, Murray provides Politico with his interpretations of data not displayed in his published methodology.

The flaw in Murray’s intentional willful blindness, his ideological methodology, is an entrenched unwillingness to accept the electorate is no longer within the constructed confines of political party norms.  The PERT box is shattered.  Murray entirely, and intentionally, ignores the statistical reality of changes within Ohio that render his methodological “assumptions” obsolete – See Here.

Unfortunately for Murray there is overwhelming evidence his assumptions are wrong. Which brings us to the Akron Ohio rally, and the attendees therein:

And it’s not just Akron Ohio. The people within this video are a snapshot into an electorate that is entirely foreign to the professional political class, The Monster Voters.

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.

Wait,… didn’t we just pay them $1.7 billion, including $400 million for ‘ransom”?  You just can’t make this stuff up folks:

Washington – The State Department issued a warning on Monday urging U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to Iran, which has made the detention of Americans a priority.

The latest travel advisory, which emphasizes Iran’s desire to capture U.S. citizens, comes on the heels of a growing scandal over the Obama administration’s decision to pay Iran $400 million in cash on the same day that it freed several U.S. hostages.

The payment has been cast by lawmakers and others as a ransom payment and prompted concern among U.S. officials that Iran is making arresting Americans a priority.

With Secretary Clinton essentially disappearing from the campaign trail (focusing almost exclusively on fundraising), many people have noted an unusual scheduled event for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appearing on her calendar, a fundraiser in Amsterdam – North Holland, by former U.S. Ambassador Timothy Broas .

If, as the media continue to espouse, Hillary Clinton has an “insurmountable lead” in the presidential race, why so much emphasis on raising money for a contest her team claims is easily already won?  What gives?… and why Amsterdam for a fundraiser?

Let’s take a look, beginning with the guy trying to raise the money for the campaign; the “speaker”, Timothy Broas.

By now most CTH readers are familiar with the more notoriously biased polling manipulators.

One of those is Patrick Murray from Monmouth University [@PollsterPatrick on Twitter].

If you want to know where his political affiliations lie, you only need to read his twitter feed. Murray has also been on Fox News with Bill O’Reilly several times selling his polling results to the unwitting audience.

Today, Monmouth via Patrick Murray presents a presidential poll of Ohio voters. The actual raw data (pdf available here – see pg, 6 and 7) showed Donald Trump with a lead in the result; however, Murray changed the data through weighting to show Hillary Clinton with a lead.

“GOUSAAMER114” pointed out the manipulation:

Monmouth just announced that Clinton leads Trump 43-39 in Ohio. But Pollster Patrick actually laid out what he did on pages 6 and 7 of the PDF.

He sampled 402 voters. In the unweighted sample, the split was 33.3R/29.3D/35.6I. With that split, Trump leads Clinton 41-39 in Ohio. But Pollster Patrick re-weighted it to a 29R/33D/37I split. Nothing else was re-weighted.

It’s obvious Murray didn’t expect to be called out on it – because when confronted with what he did, pollster Patrick Murray flat out lied. (more…)
