Democrats turned violent in New Mexico tonight while protesting against a rally held by republican candidate Donald Trump.
Will the media demand Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders denounce their supporters who have turned violent?

The entire Clinton Clan have a long history of manufacturing optics. Either by paying supporters to seem unaffiliated, genuine or grassroots – or by seeding protests against their political opponents to give the appearance of genuine controversy/protest. The latest example of a Veteran Protest at Trump Tower is the latter.
The Washington Post wrote a story last week questioning Donald Trump’s fundraiser for veterans. The Clinton campaign organized a phone call with campaign activists to stimulate ideas to stir up the controversy.
The Daily Beast caught wind of the manufactured protest effort:
[…] The Clinton campaign swiftly organized a conference call for Saturday, led by the Clinton campaign’s veterans and military families outreach director, Jonathan Murray. According to one of the people on that call, participants were told that the Clinton campaign should not be seen viewed as behind the organizer of the protest.
At Monday’s protest, Marine veteran and Clinton supporter Alexander McCoy served as a spokesman for the demonstrators—and went to great lengths to hide the Clinton campaign’s involvement with organizing the demonstration.
Facing diminishing polls, and the solidifying narrative emanating from them, which hold a very real potential to permanently damage her in the presidential election, Team Clinton have requested immediate aid from one of their primary corporate media sponsors.
In response Michael Cohen goes on CNN this morning to defend Donald Trump.
Two parts of the 15 minute interview. Part I:
Apparently the U.S. media has chosen this week to once again reassert itself as the epitome of broadcast propaganda; Pravda must have been giving them a run for the ruses.
One of the examples today comes from the nascent Jake Tapper of CNN who rallied the proverbial troops around a claim that Donald Trump “brought up Vince Foster” while campaigning for President.
After a two minute diatribe on his framework Tapper begins the panel discussion by saying: “how do you respond to Donald Trump bringing up Vince Foster?”
Except there’s a problem; you know, the pesky truth,… Donald Trump didn’t bring up Vince Foster, a reporter did.

CNN broadcast a one hour special yesterday called “Why they hate us” discussing why adherents to the most authentic interpretations of Islam hate the United States.
Overall, the broadcasted presentation by Fareed Zakaria was good; actually, very good. Perhaps one of the best one hour presentations in quite a while. The content was engaging, the historical references were well presented and well outlined…. until a fatal flaw. The common, disconcerting and uncomfortable fatal flaw.
In what can only be viewed as an effort to downplay the scope of the threat, Fareed Zakaria claims the existence of only 100,000 jihad-minded Islamic followers world-wide. Fifteen minutes later he presents the 2014 terror victim outcome of 30,000 dead in a single year from Muslim Terrorist Attacks; most victims also Muslim – as if that matters.
Zakaria would have the viewing audience believe that 100k world-wide adherent followers, could inflict 30,00 fatalities. Common sense, not prone to co-dependency, would refute such an obtuse argument. (more…)
Most of these reports should be filtered through the prism of a desired political narrative. President Obama’s civilian pentagon officials quickly announcing a “drone strike”, “inside Pakistan” that may have killed a high-profile Taliban leader.
Why does the administration need to specifically tell the world the details? Why put Pakistan in a position of retaliation from al-Qaeda with notification of a cross border drone strike?
Perhaps these continual and overly public releases of information are an outcome of a U.S. President being forced to act by the U.S. military. The White House not wanting to engage, puts intensely stringent rules in place to insure the continued life of the enemy.
The military follows those rules and puts the enemy directly on a tee. Obama is reluctantly forced to approve the strike lest he be clearly outlined as supporting the enemy. With no option Obama approves the strike, but then exposes every element of the attack he can, through his civilian surrogates, in order to create a hostile consequence that will diminish any possible future occurrence.

“Reverend, you’ve got balls as big as church bells“…
It looks like we might want to pay attention to provocateur Jake Tapper and State of the Union tomorrow as he interviews Bernie Sanders.
In a recently released snippet from the interview Bernie goes full wolverine on the DNC and specifically DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. When Tapper thought he would corner Sanders about an openly pro-Sanders Schultz primary opponent, Senator Sanders didn’t flinch and said he fully supports her challenger.
However, Bernie didn’t stop there. He said if he wins the nomination Debbie Wasserman-Schultz will be removed from the DNC. WATCH:
Gabriel Sherman writes a column for the New York Magazine about the fallout to the terrible ratings from Megyn Kelly’s broadcast special premier, and how she has damaged her contract negotiating position with a poor result.
Sherman is a good read for some facts surrounding Fox News Insider stuff, but his analysis generally misses the mark because he’s inside the liberal NYC bubble; this article is no exception. Example: Sherman asserts that Rupert Murdoch is now supportive of Donald Trump… um, NO – that’s laughable.
Rupert “Open Borders” Murdoch who has spent millions supporting immigration reform, who has used his network to sell Jeb Bush/Marco Rubio, who held meetings with executives, politicians and pundits to ensure pro-immigration reform content, is NOT a supporter of Donald Trump….
[*Hint* Read Sherman for facts and events, but disregard analysis].

Well, it appears the reports from the Facebook PR control meeting with “conservative” punditry delivered the predictable outcomes. The essential issue with the nonsensical meeting was abundantly evident before the thing even began.
Facebook called the meeting because they viewed the insider releases as a PR crisis, not as an opportunity to admit their deception and provide an explanation as to how they were going to improve.
Pictured above an earlier, less publicized, meeting in 2014
As a consequence the entire meeting premise was targeted to give the appearance of concern, while their internal goals were PR optics only. Obviously, almost all the attendees did not, or could not, see their roles as useful tools. (more…)
A new PPP poll from Arizona (full pdf below) shows Senator John McCain is in a serious battle for the GOP primary. Challenger Kelli Ward is currently tied with McCain at 41% and the majority of republican electorate have a negative view of McCain.
Some of the internal polling results might be surprising to readers and political followers, especially given the preferred media narratives bantered about by the insufferable MSM punditry.
Example: Kelli Ward is more heavily supported by Men 46/40 over McCain. Conversely Women support McCain 43/36 over Ward. The complete opposite narrative from what national punditry will opine (gaslight) when discussing gender based voting. (more…)
