Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
Feel Good Story – Phoenix, AZ – A man shot and wounded an Arizona state trooper Thursday along a remote highway and then started slamming the helpless officer’s head into the pavement. A passing motorist stopped to assist the officer, and shot the ambush attacker.
Trooper Edward Andersson, a 27-year veteran of the Department of Public Safety, was shot in the right shoulder and chest in what authorities called an ambush and was in serious but stable condition after surgery at a Goodyear hospital.
DPS Director Frank Milstead had words of thanks for good Samaritan who stopped to help, CBS affiliate KPHO reported. “My trooper would not be alive without his assistance,” Milstead said of the driver who stopped. (more…)
…Only Trump could put this much sunlight upon decades of economic fraud, as carried out by “the big club“, in one single news cycle..
(Reuters) The head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce met with Cuban President Raul Castro and in separate meetings with members of Castro’s economic cabinet on Friday, as they prepare for the advent of a more hostile Trump administration next week.
The chamber has been urging the Cuban government to sign a number of agreements with major companies such as General Electric (GE.N), negotiated over the last 18 months, before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20. (more…)
Ready yourselves – here we go again. Up is down and down is up.
These “small government CONservatives” do have a rather obvious propensity to consolidate self-serving power when threatened, eh? Crony CONstitutional CONservatives loves them some globalism when Wall Street is paying for their indulgences…
WASHINGTON DC – A staffer for Republican Senator Mike Lee told trade experts at a lunch in Washington this week that he is looking into ways to curtail the president’s wide-ranging powers to impose tariffs, according to one of Lee’s aides.
The aide said a bill could be introduced as early as next week, and it may require Trump to go through Congress to use tariffs.
Continuing to build upon a two month long well-constructed UniParty narrative, today Representative John Lewis steps to the Chuck Todd microphone to declare that President Donald Trump is “not a legitimate president”.
[…] When pressed to explain why, he cited allegations of Russian hacks during the campaign that led to the release of internal documents from the Democratic National Committee, and Hillary Clinton’s campaign co-chairman, John Podesta.
“I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected. And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton,” Lewis told NBC News’ Chuck Todd. (link)
After months of direct and indirect innuendo surrounding the vast Russian conspiracy, John Lewis was carefully selected by the left-wing of the DC UniParty to be the first to make the public declaration. In addition to being a partisan hack, Lewis provides the politically correct shields needed when advancing politically-toxic absurdity. (more…)
A distinctly different reaction today as Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson exits Trump Tower and speaks to reporters.
Ms. Hewson’s first meeting with Mr. Trump was last month in Florida, and she emerged from that meeting without speaking to reporters. President-elect Trump later said they appeared to be engaging in “a little bit of a dance.”

Mr. Trump had publicly called out Lockheed Martin, saying the F-35 was over budget and behind schedule and directly stated his opinion the contract should be cancelled while asking Boeing to update its F-18 jet instead. (more…)
There is a particular transparency of motive which becomes clear, and reconciles all inquiry, when an interested observer accepts a particular media framework:
♦ The media outlet CNN provides for their domestic and international audience, the preferred position for all policy and points of advocacy from the Department of State. ♦ The media outlet The Washington Post serves a similar purpose, however their specialized role is as a conduit for the Central Intelligence Agency.
When you accept this track-record truism, the political presentations from each media entity gain an accurate context.
As we observe each outlet, we continually see them reflecting the interests of the larger Deep State.
Anonymous sources become “senior government officials”, which is to say political officials with specific political agendas.
Over the past two months the agenda for Deep State has been to undermine the legitimacy of an incoming president whose goals and objectives are adverse to the Deep State interests. President Donald Trump represents an existential threat to all of the various elements within Deep State. (more…)
Will President Obama pardon Hillary Clinton before he leaves office? A question curiously non-discussed in the media.
However, when you accept that CNN’s broadcasted narratives, ie. the preferred positions of the U.S. Department of State, are generally good predictors of the political forecast, all signs point to yes.
Specifically, CNN’s broadcasted push surrounding the current story lines around FBI Director James Comey: •#1. “Under IG Investigation“, •#2. “Driving Wedge between Trump and Comey“, and •#3. “Incoming Deputy Attorney General“… well, the architecture of the necessary narrative to support a Clinton Pardon is clearly being framed.
All of the indicators are building toward one very specific conclusion. (more…)
