WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration confirmed for the first time Friday that Hillary Clinton’s unsecured home server contained some of the U.S. government’s most closely guarded secrets, censoring 22 emails with material demanding one of the highest levels of classification. The revelation comes just three days before the Iowa presidential nominating caucuses in which Clinton is a candidate.

The State Department will release its next batch of emails from Clinton’s time as secretary of state later Friday.

The numbers are in, and according to Brian Stelter (CNN Medi Guru) the Nielsen ratings data shows approximately 12.5 to 13 million Fox debate viewers last night.  In comparison to the prior Fox News debate of 25 million viewers, that is nearly a 50% drop.

Of course that doesn’t stop the professional GOPe apologists and propagandists from the pontificating cocktail class from trying to spin the results….

“He’s like a quarterback scrambling around and no-one can catch him” ~ David Axelrod

“He’s quite possibly the smartest campaign strategist in modern history” ~ Jeffrey Lord

Both true.  However, what Trump is really doing is simultaneously exposing the entire sordid, corrupt, self-serving, financial manipulative scheme -within a national political construct- that has remained hidden just beneath the surface…..

…a horribly corrupt beast, fed by an oblivious electorate. A behemoth, made of media and various news outlets, who serves the financial needs of left and right-wing talking heads, and exists exclusively to keep them in power.

For years we have called those who control this monster: “The Decepticons”. Professional deceivers who exist exclusively for their own scheme and graft.

Yeah, Donald J Trump is exposing it all.

Brilliantly.

Things That Make Other Things Make Sense…

Last week radio talk show host Mark Levin had to reluctantly admit he has a ‘soon-to-be’ step-son working for Senator Ted Cruz. – HERE –  Now, this week comes an even more startling revelation:

Bill Sammon is a Fox News Vice President and in charge of the Fox News debates and questioning.  His daughter, Brooke Sammon, is Marco Rubio’s Press Secretary.

So how influential is Bill Sammon in the debate formatting?  From a Media Buzz interview with Chris Stirewalt about the debate construction: (more…)

Progressive Liberalism on display, yet again, in the multicultural petri dish that has become the European Union as a direct result of mass uncontrolled migration….

(Denmark News In English)  A 17-year-old girl who was physically and sexually attacked in Sønderborg will herself face charges for using pepper spray to fend off her assailant.

The teenager told police that she was attacked in central Sønderborg on Wednesday at around 10pm by a dark-skinned English-speaking man. She said the man knocked her to the ground and then unbuttoned her pants and attempted to undress her.

The girl was able to save herself from further assault by using pepper spray on the attacker, but now she may be the one who ends up in legal trouble. (more…)

Many broadcast hours and column inches are sure to be used today and tomorrow regarding the decision by Donald Trump to skip the Fox News debate in Iowa.

Predicatively 90% of those reports will most likely circle around a Donald Trump -vs- Megyn Kelly narrative. Obviously that aspect will be the preferred hook used by Fox News to avoid sunlight; it is also profoundly wrong.

Megyn Kelly, and her sidekick Chris Stirewalt are the visible symptom, not the actual underlying issue. Their partnered ‘too-cute-by-half schtick‘ has been ongoing for several months, including the coordinated antics at the last debate, and in the weeks leading up to the last debate; but again, they are the symptom – not the real issue.

~ BECAUSE, TRUMP ~

Byron York – Dateline New Hampshire […]  At the gathering’s dinner Friday night, I sat next to former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu and his wife Nancy. When we talked about the presidential race — a race in a state whose ground-level politics Sununu knows better than almost anyone — Sununu must have said some version of “I don’t know what is going on” about a dozen times….

Most of you knew this was going to be a wild ride. Heck, many knew back in June 2015 when candidate Donald Trump entered the race this was going to be unlike anything we’d ever seen.  Boy howdy, was that ever an understatement

Going all the way back to the spring of 2014 those who didn’t fall into the emotional chasm, which surrounds candidate advocacy, saw the makings of a really strange situation possible.  Today many of those possibilities are now front and center.

In Iowa…. candidate Ted Cruz takes to the stage next to Glenn Beck to accept a quickly structured endorsement to stem the electoral collapse.  If pictures are worth a thousand words, the look on Senator Cruz’s face is, well, priceless:

And really, who can blame him….. poor Ted eh’?

After all, the endorsement comes from a man who uses a radio and media platform to continually decry “identity politics” yet uses the event to proclaim his anointed candidate based on what else, ethnic identity: (more…)

For the sake of brevity, I’m going to accept that most readers here are familiar with who is funding and directing Jeb Bush, and in larger, more consequential measures, the DC apparatchik in charge of U.S. Policy, ie. Wall street.

During the recent South Carolina debate, and in response to Trump pointing out a necessary shift in trade position (a shift to put American interests first – a shift to stop the dependency on cheap import goods – a shift to use China’s dependency on access to our market to OUR advantage), Jeb Bush came back with an example of Boeing manufacturing.

Donald Trump, responding to Jeb’s Boeing example, pointed out China is forcing Boeing to open a manufacturing plant in China. As typical from a candidate who is unfamiliar and unbriefed on the issue Jeb looked back incredulously and said:

“C’mon man”…

There you have it. (more…)

REMINDER – By now almost everyone has acknowledged that Donald Trump has ripped the masks from most of the modern professional punditry who espoused to be conservatives yet showed their hidden ideological colors as elite globalists.

In June millions of Fox News viewers saw FOX’s entire line-up of professional pundits proclaim borders shouldn’t matter; border walls won’t work; illegal alien amnesty was the only viable solution to decades of unenforced immigration law; and this was only in week #1 of Donald Trump’s campaign.

Since June ’15, on almost every issue those same pundits have now openly aligned themselves with GOPe agenda items like global trade, tax policy, big government spending, and advocacy to including advancement of Speaker Paul ‘Omnibus’ Ryan.

However, a sharp reader, DrudgeAddict, smartly points out these same voices were the exact group who gathered together in an exclusive meeting with President Obama in 2009 to sing his praises after the ’08 election. Including : (more…)
