In the continuing saga showcasing the mountain of evidence exemplifying the insufferable disconnect from the elites who control the legislative agenda of DC, the head weasel stands up to opine. 
During a U.S. Chamber of Commerce meeting in Washington DC, President Tom Donohue outlines how his constituency is flummoxed by this Trump person they keep hearing of.  Who is he? and what does this mean for the $300+ million they have paid congress for passage of the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal, they ask…..

[…]  U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue said that his members are scratching their heads and searching for answers about how the billionaire businessman would operate if he wins the White House in November.
“I hear mostly concern from our members,” Donohue told reporters during a trade briefing at the Chamber in Washington.
Donohue said he hears questions like, “Who is this guy? What do we know about him? How will he behave?”

One America News Network and Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan research firm, conducted a random survey of 1,574 registered voters across the United States. The poll was conducted on May 10th and has a margin of error of ± 2.5% at the 95% confidence level. (Link to More Data)
This OAN poll is the stuff of Team Hillary Clinton nightmares, for a couple of reasons.

1. The poll is well oversampled toward Democrats: 40% Democrat, 33% Republican, 27% Independent.  Yet, Hillary barely squeaks out ahead.
2. The Independents in the poll heavily skew toward Donald Trump 58%.  This is the battleground space/electorate for almost all swing state polling.
3. Donald Trump wins Hispanic voters.
4. The polling base, “registered voters” does NOT include the Monster Vote.

Here’s the Hispanic Voter breakout:

There is a new awakening amid the electorate; one that has been a long time coming, but it is finally here.  More Americans are aware of the UniParty than ever before.

FACT:  When both teams in the Super Bowl are owned by the same person, the Lombardi Trophy is destined to end up the same cabinet regardless of who wins.

There is only one party in Washington DC, the UniParty.  They are funded by the same ownership, Wall Street; and their legislative victories end up with the same benefactors.  The candidacy of Donald Trump represents a second party option for the first time in two decades.

As a consequence, when Bill Kristol advocates for a Ben Sasse or Mitt Romney candidacy, he is framing the fallacy of false choice.  Kristol can claim his framework is more than a Potemkin village attempt as a counter argument, but the truth is evident in reality.
Here’s proof, empirical evidence, of the UniParty construct.

After a visit to Washington DC to meet with House Speaker Paul Ryan and congressional membership, Donald Trump is interviewed by Sean Hannity last night:

(Senator Jeff Sessions Op-Ed) – For the first time in a long time, this November will give Americans a clear choice on perhaps the most important issue facing our country and our civilization: whether we remain a nation-state that serves its own people, or whether we slide irrevocably toward a soulless globalism that treats humans as interchangeable widgets in the world market.
In Donald Trump, we have a forceful advocate for America. Trump has said that our trade, immigration and foreign policies must be changed to protect the interests of American workers and our nation. (more…)

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

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 †

Beyond the larger context of Globalists VS Nationalists, the internal opposition to Common Sense economic conservatism/nationalism can be fundamentally broken down into two categories:

♦  The first group are those who are fundamentally naive about large and historic economic issues; and how the economy was changed, forced to change, through the past forty years by financial interests who created a second, “false“, paper economy.
This first group is generally young, pseudo-intellectual, and their only reference has been while formally educated within the last thirty years (they’re under 50).   Most of the oppositional (conservative) punditry falls into this category.  Important to note, this group is also joined by the majority of politicians who are approximately the same age.

♦  The second group are those who truly know better; they are older and wiser, they know the truth because they saw it unfold.  However, they are also financially dependent on retention of a narrative that sold the change in the past 40 years.  These are the willfully blind who have sold-out to the benefit of, and enrichment from, the false economy.
This second group is intent on retaining a historic set of false assumptions by fraud and deception.  Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Chris Matthews and Hugh Hewitt fit into this second grouping.  Their framework echo-chambered and passed down to group #1.

Matt Drudge was right, Facebook was lying.  Follow up to this earlier story.  The UK Guardian has the leaked documents.
(Via Breitbart) Mere days after Tom Stocky, Facebook’s Trending News manager, rejected reports that his subordinates “artificially inject” items into its list of trending news stories, a leak of internal guidelines published in The Guardian show that the company does exactly that.
The document shows that Facebook’s team behaves like a typical Old Media outlet, with editors selecting and approving stories at virtually every stage of the process. The company also keeps a list of 1,000 “trusted” outlets that it uses in its Trending News feature.
The document also instructs staffers to check if a story is headlining on mainstream outlets like CNN, BBC, Fox News, and The New York Times before assigning it “national-level” importance. This is in stark contrast to the company’s outward claim that its Trending News feature merely reflects what’s currently trending among its userbase. (more…)

House Speaker Paul “Omnibus” Ryan, and republican candidate Donald Trump had a 45 minute ‘getting-to-know-you’ meeting earlier today. Paul Ryan held a press conference after their meeting (video below):

There are inherent ideological differences in policy between Donald Trump and Paul Ryan. Trump representing the will of the electorate, and Paul Ryan representing the will of the GOPe party establishment. (more…)
