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 †

Here’s Why Ted Cruz Has Already Lost Iowa – Glenn Beck Lying Version…

Catch up mode…

beck and cruzLet it not be said that we fail to follow through.

Outlined below is part of the video from a 19 minute segment Megyn Kelly ran on her show allowing Glenn Beck to launch an attack against Donald Trump without any push-back.

The entire “interview” (actually a one-way diatribe) was targeted to a Fox audience that has not, and does not, pay attention to political comings and goings 24/7/365; in essence, the casual political follower.

There is a lot of misinformation in that entire exposition; but one very specific part of the misinformation that needs to be showcased, and, as luck would have it, exists within our archives – because of the intense importance the moment provided in understanding what was going on in DC. (more…)

Danish Teen Faces Charges For Fighting Off Rapist Using Pepper Spray…

Progressive Liberalism on display, yet again, in the multicultural petri dish that has become the European Union as a direct result of mass uncontrolled migration….

mass migration(Denmark News In English)  A 17-year-old girl who was physically and sexually attacked in Sønderborg will herself face charges for using pepper spray to fend off her assailant.

The teenager told police that she was attacked in central Sønderborg on Wednesday at around 10pm by a dark-skinned English-speaking man. She said the man knocked her to the ground and then unbuttoned her pants and attempted to undress her.

The girl was able to save herself from further assault by using pepper spray on the attacker, but now she may be the one who ends up in legal trouble. (more…)

Trump Campaign Mgr, Corey Lewandowski, Discusses Trump -vs- Fox News Debate Status…

Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski called in to the MSNBC Joe Scarborough show “Morning Joe” to answer questions about the back story and current status of the issues with Fox News.

The video below begins with the Lewandowski interview (ignore the unrelated Rachel Maddow imagery):

Here’s a good article via New York Magazine about some of the inside baseball stuff. READ HERE – When Fox is putting this much emphasis on blaming Roger Ailes, you can be guaranteed this is more about Murdoch than Ailes. Blaming leadership is part of the Murdoch M.O. as he did with the U.K Daily Mirror scandal.

When Rupert makes mistakes, he blames his corporate leadership – the executives know that when going to work for Rupert. (more…)

Donald Trump’s Fox Debate Boycott and The Ridiculous Fox News Response…

Many broadcast hours and column inches are sure to be used today and tomorrow regarding the decision by Donald Trump to skip the Fox News debate in Iowa.

Predicatively 90% of those reports will most likely circle around a Donald Trump -vs- Megyn Kelly narrative. Obviously that aspect will be the preferred hook used by Fox News to avoid sunlight; it is also profoundly wrong.

Megyn Kelly, and her sidekick Chris Stirewalt are the visible symptom, not the actual underlying issue. Their partnered ‘too-cute-by-half schtick‘ has been ongoing for several months, including the coordinated antics at the last debate, and in the weeks leading up to the last debate; but again, they are the symptom – not the real issue.
