The Kentucky primary race is a week away.   Matt Bevin vs. Mitch McConnell

(Via Politico)  James Murdoch and News Corp’s PAC have both made donations to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s reelection campaign, according to his most recent campaign filing report.

Murdoch, son of News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch, donated $2,600 to McConnell’s primary and $2,400 to his general election fund. According to the report, he’s donated $5,000 to both funds in this election cycle to date.

The younger Murdoch, who is currently deputy COO of 21st Century Fox, was long seen as the heir apparent of News Corp until he fell out of favor after the 2011 News of the World phone-hacking scandal in Britain. Lachlan Murdoch, James’ older brother, was named to top spots on the boards of News Corp and 21st Century Fox in March, suggesting that he is in line to take over the media giant.

News Corp PAC also gave $5,000 to McConnell’s general election fund, according to the filing. (more…)

Despite what you see in the apologetic leftist media, including Politico), Sasse was constantly under attack from the establishment arm (McConnell and Rove) of the Republican Party.   This is a big win for conservative principles and a big loss for Mitch McConnell.

(Via Politico)  Sasse, the former Bush administration official, received about 49 percent of the vote, according to an Associated Press vote tally with roughly two-thirds of precincts reporting. Omaha banker Sid Dinsdale, who had picked up last-minute momentum, received 23 percent of the vote and former state treasurer Shane Osborn received 21 percent.

[…]  Sasse also had endorsements from Sen. Ted Cruz and former Gov. Sarah Palin, both of whom attended a rally with him last month. (more…)

Jaw dropping Moonbattery !!

The litmus test is…. wait for it,…. whether or not you voted for Obama.  

If you did not – you’re racist.   If you did not vote for Obama, and you don’t act or behave racist – you just don’t know you’re racist.

WARNING – Mother Jones Logic […]  And thus, while our society has made progress when it comes to matters of race, subliminal categorization tendencies still permeate human behavior. This much has been demonstrated in the lab multiple times, but here are some noteworthy findings on the psychology of implicit racial bias:

Not Voting for Obama. In a very different context, these tendencies also cropped up in the 2008 presidential election, pitting a white candidate (John McCain) against a black one (Barack Obama). In a 2009 study, B. Keith Payne of the University of North Carolina and his colleagues compared explicit and implicit bias scores for a large number of individuals with their self-reported voting behavior in the election.

On the heels of the latest revelation that 10% of Tea Party donors have suffered through IRS audits – The following was posted yesterday on the home page for the House Ways and Means Committee:

Washington, DC – Today, Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) announced that one year into the investigation of the IRS targeting and abusing conservative groups, the agency has agreed to turn over all Lois Lerner emails to the Committee. Lerner is a central figure in the investigation and served as Director of Exempt Organizations at the IRS.

“While it is good that we are finally getting these emails, it should never have taken this long. The agency is finally doing what is right and hopefully this is the last of the delays. It is almost a year to the day since Lois Lerner ‘apologized’ for the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and we need to get to the bottom of this. These documents are critical to an investigation that is holding the IRS accountable and ensuring the constitutional rights of these groups are never trampled on again. The Committee will thoroughly review the Lerner documents and follow them wherever they may lead.”   (more)

House also approved H.Res. 565, requesting appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate #IRStargeting, 250-168 w/26 Dems voting yes.

WASHINGTON DC – The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to hold former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify about the agency’s targeting of conservative groups.

The House voted 231-187 for a resolution holding Lerner in contempt.

Lerner’s case will now be sent to the Justice Department, which then must decide whether to essentially prosecute Lerner in the case.

House GOP leaders have said Lerner’s testimony is important to fully investigate the scandal, in which IRS agents singled out Tea Party nonprofit applications for extra scrutiny. (more…)

…. he’s kicking the hornets nest on purpose.

These people are dumber than a box of rocks.

Look up the definition of psychological “Projection” and you’ll identify why the progressive left consistently comes up with this insufferably idiocy:

(Via SLATE)  [F]inally, I can’t help but wonder how conservatives would react if these were black farmers—or black anyone—defending “their” land against federal officials. Would Fox News applaud black militiamen aiming their guns at white bureaucrats?

Interesting contrast inside the latest polling from Texas.   Wendy Davis has wider name recognition yet Greg Abbott is extending his overall lead.   What’s also interesting is how Wendy Davis polls worse the more people get to know her.  And this is a Democrat friendly poll:

(Via Public Policy Polling)  PPP’s newest Texas poll finds Republicans leading by double digits in all of the state’s major races for 2014.
In the Governor’s race Greg Abbott’s at 51% to 37% for Wendy Davis. Those numbers are largely unchanged from our last poll of the state in early November when Abbott had a 50/35 advantage.
Davis had a 39/29 favorability rating right after her famous filibuster last June, but since then voters in the state have mostly moved toward having negative opinions about her and now she’s at a 33/47 spread. (more…)

Remember this ?  (February 2013) Conservative activist and founder of True the Vote, Catherine Engelbrecht, filed an ethics complaint against far left Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD).    Ms. Engelbrecht accused Cummings of harassment and intimidation.

Democrat House Committee Member Elijah Cummings denied he, nor his staff, ever had contact with leadership in the IRS about targeting or getting documents for Ms. Engelbrecht’s group, “True The Vote”.

However, today (Via WFB)  The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sent tax documents on a targeted conservative group to Democratic staff on the House Oversight Committee, newly released emails show, despite previous denials by ranking Oversight Democrat Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) that such contact had occurred.

I could actually make a solid argument that Mitch McConnell is actually a BIGGER danger because at least with Obama you know in advance what he supports, McConnell tries to hide it to retain his power.
McConnell and the CoC fully support:

♦  Comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty.
♦  Common Core federal educational standards.
♦  ObamaCare – Or The federal delivery of uniform mandated healthcare to all citizens.

“I told you at the very beginning what this administration tries to do you and what the progressives on the right, let me tell you something, Mitch McConnell is as big of a danger to this country as Barack Obama is. The progressive disease is in both parties. Big government is a philosophy in both parties, period. It is antithetical to the American system. Period.”  (link)

Mitch McConnell is the personification of what will lead to a third party.   If McConnell wins his primary next month you will see a radical shift in political discussion from me.
ps.  Two weeks ago the Tea Party Patriot organization joined team Matt Bevin to assist in the removal of Mitch McConnell.
