The article conjures up images of Kerry and Obama playing the roles of Herve Villechaize and Ricardo Montalban waiting for the planes to arrive on Fantasy Island…. “Da Plane, Da plane”!

(Via NBC) The U.S. is offering new details about its plan to ease the Syrian refugee crisis by significantly increasing the number of worldwide refugees it will take in over the next two years.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world next year, up from 70,000, and the number will rise to 100,000 in 2017. (more…)

The recent NYT article “Party Rules To Streamline Race May Backfire“, written by Jonathan Martin, showcases two distinct disconnects: #1) an actual understanding of what’s going on, and #2) the NYT bubble-perspective on the GOP motives.

However, it does provide an excellent tool to showcase bias and reality:

LOS ANGELES — When gloomy Republican Party leaders regrouped after President Obama’s 2012 re-election, they were intent on enhancing the party’s chances of winning back the White House. The result: new rules to head off a prolonged and divisive nomination fight, and to make certain the Republican standard-bearer is not pulled too far to the right before Election Day.

FALSE:  It should read “intent on insuring the establishment GOP chances of winning the White House“. The GOPe don’t want a conservative, they want a uni-party team player.  Look toward their actions – not their words.

[…]  But as the sprawling class of 2016 Republican presidential candidates tumbled out of their chaotic second debate last week, it was increasingly clear that those rule changes — from limiting the number of debates to adjusting how delegates are allocated — have failed to bring to the nominating process the order and speed that party leaders had craved.

FALSE and TRUE:  False because the establishment “GOPe” apparatus intentionally put nine of the candidates into place.  True because despite their efforts it’s failing to bring their chosen GOPe leader, Jeb Bush, to the forefront. (more…)

(VIA USA TODAY) More bad news for the Clintons. With Hillary’s presidential campaign slipping in the polls against Sen. Bernie Sanders and facing a potential fresh challenge from Vice President Joe Biden, six giants of the corporate world are bailing out on the Clinton Global Initiative.
On Sept. 26, CGI, a branch of the Clinton Foundation, convenes its 11th annual meeting with a star-studded cast. Bill and Chelsea Clinton will be joined by Ashley Judd, Charlize Theron, Edward Norton, Ted Danson, Tina Brown, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Sir Richard Branson, Bill Gates and George Soros. What will be missing is more than a million dollars from a who’s who of corporate behemoths that sponsored the meeting last year. Six high-profile firms ended their cash donations, to be replaced with only one similar high-profile corporate donor so far. (more…)

Now that Donald Trump has thrown a monkey wrench into the GOPe Splitter Strategy, we are able to look at their modified objectives.   Keeping in mind the overall Road Map, and the commitment of all the interested parties therein, we can now see the goal:

…If you remove Donald Trump from the current equation – Ben Carson becomes Herman Cain 2012, Ted Cruz becomes Newt Gingrich and Jeb Bush slips right back into the role of Mitt Romney, exactly as planned..

….Toward that end an understanding of a few things are needed:

1. An understanding of the National and State RNC rule changes
2. An understanding of how the primary delegate distributions fit within the plan.
3. An understanding of how the architects always planned to eliminate Cruz

All current key state polling, including the releases yesterday from Florida, showcase and confirm the viability of the GOPe Road Map “splitter strategy” as it was designed in 2014.
So lets begin first with the rule changes.
In 2014 the RNC/GOPe apparatus made modifications to the 2016 presidential primary specifically because the chosen candidate, Jeb Bush, would need more structural support in 2015/2016 than Mitt Romney 2012.
Whereas Romney’s Road Map garnered 25-30% electoral support, internal polling (2014) showed Jeb around 15-20% support.  As a consequence of Jeb’s weakness the RNC rules needed to compensate. (more…)

Several people have dropped links to a recent article highlighting comments by “conservative pundit” Bill Kristol who essentially said if Trump wins the GOP nomination, then a Republican “Third Party” would be necessary – READ HERE –

If you doubt the severity, or the intent, of Kristol’s words – you shouldn’t.  His expressions are exactly what the RNC/GOPe believe – don’t doubt them.
Further, if you really want to know what the GOPe will do if Trump defeats their plans, you only need to look back to 2010 and what the RNC/GOPe did when their guy, Mike Castle, was defeated in the Delaware Senate primary by Christine O’Donnell and the Tea Party.
These people will do exactly the same thing to candidate Donald Trump and the vulgarians. (more…)

For those who follow the GOPe Road Map, and are fully aware of the goals therein, here’s a little something to put in the memory file.

Thanks to an enormous media push most people have seen the Carly Fiorina “faces” political ad.  However, what most people didn’t pick up on, is that the ad itself did not come from the official Fiorina campaign – it came from the Super-PAC “CarlyForAmerica“.
Federal campaign law forbids coordination between a candidate’s Super-PAC, with unlimited funding sources and/or limits on contributions, and the official campaign itself.  However, the timing of the ad when contrast against the derivative content therein reeks of campaign and Super-PAC coordination.

If you thought Secretary Kerry’s 2013 “Jobs for Jihadists” program was goofy, wait until you read about this one. 
The U.S. federal government is announcing a new program called CVE (Counter Violent Extremism) in Minneapolis Minnesota.  Under the U.S. program, authorized by President Obama, Somali Muslims living in Minnesota will be paid not to go on terror rampages. or blow themselves up. 

…”Led by a taskforce of 15 Somali Americans and a traditional community grant-making organization, the Counter Violent Extremism (CVE) program is the brainchild of the chief federal prosecutor for Minnesota, Andrew Luger. […]  The goal is to prevent youth recruitment by overseas extremist groups such as Isis or al-Shabaab”…. 

Any individual found engaged in an act of violent jihad will have their monthly payment stopped, and all federal income subsides removed. They’re calling it “crime prevention“, so there’s always that….
(VIA GUARDIAN) Hibaaq Osman has a glow that changes the energy in a room, or in her case, the energy of the restaurant her family owns in Karmel mall, the oldest Somali mall in Minneapolis. The cafe is right near the mosque on the top floor of the building, past rows of entrepreneurs selling wares in individual stalls, sipping hot drinks in small cups and chatting in Somali.
Osman retains her glow, even in anger. And after a press conference held outside the mosque, she is upset. (more…)

The Democrat and Republican politicans are certainly providing us with a bounty of shiny things to keep us occupied.  Meanwhile, perhaps it’s prudent to note we are entering the final stages of ObamaCare’s intended structure, the creation of “single-payer” solutions.

Back in campaign season 2012 through the following October 2013, we held the opinion that removal of ObamaCare was actually a reasonable expectation.  It was not until we discovered the U.S. Chamber of Commerce President, Tom Donohue, paying Mitch McConnell to retain ObamaCare that we realized how severely our belief was misguided.
As soon as we accepted this reality we were able to identify what was coming, why the postponements and delays, and ultimately what the end result was going to look like.
With a re-evaluated understanding, the nine stages of ObamaCare took on new meaning.
We are all currently distracted by so many things political; however, consider this a head’s up as we are about to move from ObamaCare Outrage Stage #6 to Stage #7….  The pain is soon to appear, and become an even bigger crisis. (more…)

Yes Alice, DeRay McKesson is going to be teaching at Yale, and now Jamal Bryant announces he’s running for congress.  Bryant will be targeting the congressional seat currently occupied by Elijah Cummings, as Cummings is widely expected to run for the Senate.

Many people will remember Jamal Bryant from his involvement with the Freddie Gray protesting community.  However, some might remember Bryant from his involvement with the fraudulent narrative surrounding Trayvon Martin fiasco.  From his announcement:
(BALTIMORE CBS) […]  “After prayer, soul searching and long deliberation, I am officially- -announcing my candidacy for Congress of the United States representing the 7^th Congressional District,” he said in a statement. “After the Freddie Gray uprising, the proliferation of police brutality across this nation, the lack of jobs, widespread poverty and hopelessness throughout our urban areas, I decided that leading a successful congregation and building a great church is not enough. I want to contribute to public policy in Washington.” (more…)

According to MediaIte Glenn Beck is promising to bring Mid-East refugees into the US illegally.   Citing a Daily Caller interview with Beck -who was overwhelmed with emotion, and began crying- Beck is asking his followers to send him $10 million.  With the money Beck is promising to smuggle the refugees into the U.S…..

[*Note To Self* David Barton heads Ted Cruz Super-Pac, and Beck’s Mercury One Charity… nudge, nudge…]
(Via MediaIte) […]  Beck said that he had asked his audience to raise $10 million before Christmas to help take in Christian Syrian refugees. “Stop asking for permission!” he said. “Stop thinking we need permission… We will vet them ourselves. I have former CIA people that are going over and they’re vetting everybody right now. We can save more people by Christmas than Oscar Schindler saved, okay?”
Beck said if the State Department refused them entry he’d find them a way in the country, even if he was thrown in jail. “I know some bridges over a river in Texas that doesn’t seem to matter… I will so gladly grace a jail for a justice cause of saving people’s lives.” (more…)
