It really is stunning how open the republican leadership in both the House and Senate are with their disdain for the base of their own party. Reports now surfacing that the GOPe has entered negotiations with Nancy Pelosi to support Paul Ryan.

According to Roll Call the Democrats are willing to elect Ryan if the GOPe promise to give them comprehensive immigration reform and amnesty legislation.  Representative Steve King warns of the political bloodbath which would follow such a deal.

(Via Breitbart) As Rep. Paul Ryan’s history of working for open borders has come under increasing scrutiny, conservative lawmakers have begun to publicly insist that any person who seeks to ascend to the Speakership must oppose amnesty and represent the vast majority of GOP voters who want to close the immigration valve.

As Politico recently reported, conservative Congressman Steve King (R-IA)warned that there will be a “major intraparty battle over immigration if Paul comes forward.” “A majority of the conference is on my side of this argument,” King declared. (more…)

The GOPe DC apparatchik (writ large) are all-in with their demands to support Representative Paul Ryan as the next Speaker of the House (SoH).

Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim Jordan appeared on Fox News Sunday to outline what the problems are, and it has less to do with Paul Ryan “the Speaker” – and more to do with removing the GOPe stranglehold; ie. the GOPe demand on the apparatus of power.

Jim Jordan articulates the problem. The essence of the problem is what the media and GOPe want to hide.

Within those rules Jordan is describing you find out why so many of the House of Representatives are frustrated with a UniParty leadership team that demands compliance to a regime interest that remains antithetical to the desires of the electorate who sent them there.

The GOPe leadership (Boehner, McCarthy, McConnell, Cornyn) are beholden to Wall Street, The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and K-Street, they refuse to be beholden to the will of the electorate. (more…)

Oh, if only Judas Chaffetz could re-write history; perhaps then an electorate could ignore the fact we have Senator Orin Hatch because Representative Judas Chaffetz took Tom Donohue’s 2011 Chamber of Commerce bribery money and agreed not to challenge Hatch in Utah’s 2012 primary (state delegate convention, not election).

In addition to significant amounts of cash, Chaffetz was also promised establishment perks, a House GOP leadership position, and key chairmanship in exchange for his collaboration.
Now Judas wishes to rise in defense of a common sense constitutional electorate which he previously betrayed. (more…)

At the beginning of last month we shared – There is an expression:

“I will leave you naked before your enemies”…

A proactive assertion essentially stating: if you chose to engage in war with me – not only do I promise your defeat against my interests, but I will lay you open to exposure from all adversaries – who will then take advantage of your new vulnerability.

Presidential Candidate Donald Trump is doing a remarkable job filling the role behind this proclamation. In a seismic political shift Trump has gone far beyond drawing a line in the sand. He has openly dug a trench on his pre-selected battle space within conservative encampments.

Without any apology or hidden motive, he has filled the trench with a highly explosive electorate fuel (the result from years of Republican lies and deceit) and he is openly standing behind his formation twirling a Zippo while looking toward the deceivers.

As a direct result of this approach the enemy inside the wire is being forced to expose themselves. The various “Robert’s-The Bruce”, per se’, are in a precarious position of attacking -in vain effort to retain the necessary ruse- however, consequently exposing their alignment with usurping powers of Machiavellian intent.

Three days ago Speaker of the House John Boehner announces his stepping-down and no-longer running for office.
Now today, this shows up (notice too it’s published in National Review):

Remember when Senate Democrats used budget reconciliation to pass #Obamacare? Let’s use same process to repeal it: http://t.co/IaTCn20ddm

Where the HECK was this 10 months ago? (more…)

Today is September 30th, the final day of fiscal year 2015 for the federal government. Tomorrow, October 1st, begins the first day of Fiscal Year 2016.

Despite the Republicans controlling both the House of Representatives and the Senate, there is still no federal budget for the fiscal year beginning tomorrow.
Instead of a budget, the Republicans have chosen to advance yet another “Continuing Resolution” (CR), and yet another insufferable debt ceiling increase, to fund federal spending for 2016. A massive slap in the face to the conservative electorate that gave the Republicans majorities in both chambers.
The last federal budget was signed into law in September of 2007 by President George W. Bush. Since that time the federal deficit has exploded due (in no small part) to the 2009 trillion dollar “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act“, commonly known as the “stimulus bill“, that has been embedded in the baseline of federal spending and re-spent every year for the past seven years.
Seven trillion dollars in federal deficit spending specifically because there has never been a budget since Fiscal year 2008.
Both Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, and Speaker of The House John Boehner, swore to the base of the party, if they were given control in November 2014 they would return to “regular order”; regular budgetary order.

They Lied !

Florida Chamber of Commerce Poll:

• TEAM GOPe (Bush, Rubio, Fiorina) Total – 38%
• TEAM Freedom (Trump, Carson, Cruz) Total – 40%

I hear rumors (little birdies) telling me that Ted Cruz spoke of the GOPe “splitter strategy”.  Dunno.  I haven’t watched the speech.  You decide….

It was September of 2007 when George W Bush sat behind his oval office desk and signed into law the Fiscal Year 2008 Federal Budget. Exactly eight years ago.
It has now been eight consecutive years without a federal budget. Eight consecutive years of debt ceiling increases, continuing resolutions to fund government, threats of shut-downs and the insufferable back-and-forth blame.

But this year is different. You see for this budgetary year (constructed in ’15 for fiscal year 2016) the Republicans hold significant majorities in both the House and the Senate. And for those of you who don’t pay as close attention to these things, the fiscal year starts on October 1st.

Yeah, exactly a week from now !

… and yet we have NO BUDGET. Why?
Well, the honest answer to that question is what scares the hell out of the Professional Republican party. We have no federal budget this year, because, just like the Democrat party, the GOP doesn’t want a federal budget. (more…)

Update – Post publication it’s pointed out the date on the NR article is 2014.  However, the date of the RNC rule meetings (pdf below) we gained was 2015. The original NR article written based on RNC meeting of January ’14.

A National Review article containing what we have been outlining and discussing for several months.  Rules instituted to BLOCK CONSERVATIVES, favor the party apparatus, and create a road map for the GOPe chosen candidate, JEB BUSH.
Allow me a moment to confirm the brutally obvious.

Were it not for Donald Trump – and supporters who are no longer willing to be co-dependents to their own diminishment, finding a pathway to defeat the RNC scheme – the GOPe road map to nominate Jeb would be successful.

At the bottom of the article we will once again put the pdf formats of the rule changes into place. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
(Via NRO) Conservatives often lament their inability to nominate one of their own for president. Almost unnoticed, the RNC made some changes to the party rules that could make it even harder in 2016. One change in particular could make it virtually impossible for a movement candidate to become the 2016 nominee. (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…)
