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 †
Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made her first public appearance since she conceded the 2016 election to Donald Trump last week:
Looking a little sketchy, Secretary Clinton was being honored by by the Children’s Defense Fund, and admitted she had a difficult time attending the event tonight due to her deep disappointment in the election results. (video below)

Most Americans cannot fathom how fundamentally earth-shattering the Donald Trump administrative architecture is to the professional political class.
“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones”
Almost every American understands the existence of a corrupt DC UniPary apparatus because they feel the consequences daily. However, most do not fully understand the cause of that corruption because it has become so deep-rooted and systemic.
There are multiple stories surfacing about the President-Elect Trump transition team rebuking donors and lobbyists from influence – HERE and HERE – but it cannot be overstated just how devastating this concept is to the thousands of professional political affiliates dependent on generational scheme and graft; including corporate media.
For decades the Wall Street legislative priorities have starved the middle class to the benefit of Corporate Wall Street’s own indulgence. The reversal of this process is literally threatening their existence and removing trillions of dollars from their control.

Incoming Vice-President Mike Pence and wife Karen met with outgoing Vice-President Joe Biden and his wife Jill today in Washington DC at the Naval Observatory, the official residence of the Vice-President.
Unlike President Stompy Feet, Vice-President Biden and his wife posed for pictures with their replacements and had kind words to share with the media:
Following the path of Angela Corey (Sanford/Zimmerman) and Marilyn Mosby (Baltimore/Freddie Gray), a Minnesota activist prosecutor named John Choi has made the decision to charge Officer Jeronimo Janez with 3rd degree manslaughter in the shooting case of Philando Castile, without going to a grand jury (pdf complaint below).
The explanation by Choi is quite astonishing, and reflects a rogue decision to satisfy, yet again, the social justice crowd while wasting taxpayer money:
Minnesota – The use of deadly force by a St. Anthony police officer was determined to be unjustified in the shooting death of Philando Castile. Ramsey County Attorney John Choi made the announcement during a news conference Wednesday morning.
Choi began his announcement by saying that after spending 19 weeks “immersed in the facts and law and thinking about what justice requires in the case,” he said he decided it would be wrong to ask a grand jury to make a decision regarding the case.
He said although he knows some members of the community may not be pleased with such a decision, he said “in order to achieve justice, we must be willing to do the right thing no matter how hard it may seem.”

In the continuing media saga/melt-down over President-Elect Donald Trump’s audacity to eat a meal in a restaurant with his family we find the following quote from former Obama administration spokesperson Tommy “Dude” Vietor:
Former Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor emails:
The White House Correspondents Association has to be ready to respond much more forcefully if Trump continues to ignore long-standing traditions of press access. That’s especially true for the five network bureau chiefs who hold most of the power.
I’d like to see them publicly detail their expectations as well as the potential repercussions if those demands continue to be ignored.
