Trump rally illinois 4

[…] For months now, the GOP professional class assumed Trump and Carson would fade with time. Voters would get serious, the thinking went, after seeing the outsiders share a stage with more experienced politicians at the first debate. Or when summer turned to fall, kids went back to school and parents had time to assess the candidates. Or after the second, third or fourth debates, certainly.

Marco Rubio Says He and Ted Cruz Hold Similar Positions On Immigration Issue…

Senator Marco Rubio and Senator Ted Cruz are competing for the ‘moderate amnesty vote’.

Via CNN – Rubio, speaking in Hilton Head, South Carolina, Thursday, noted Cruz’s support for H-1B visas as the two senators spar over broader immigration policy.

“Ted is a supporter of legalizing people that are in this country illegally,” Rubio said. “In fact, when the Senate bill was proposed he proposed legalizing people that were here illegally — he proposed giving them work permits. He’s also supported a massive expansion of the green cards. He’s supported a massive expansion of the H-1B program – a 500% increase.”

He added: “If you look at it, I don’t think our positions are dramatically different.” (link)

Fall & Winter Verse

poetry

Poetry.  Thoughts that travel from the head through the heart and out through the fingers to become words on paper.

I’m keeping it simple and unsophisticated today. Sometimes it is a good thing to see the old stories and the old poems.  This one reminds me of my family, and those who I see now only in my mind’s eye.

Please share your thoughts, and your favorite poetry.

Whoopsie – Apparently The Entire Mizzou Protest Was Based On a Grand Hoax…

mizzou

(Via Fox News) The first column I wrote on the Mizzou controversy analyzed the allegations and pointed out that firing a president had zero connection to any of the allegations or the demands for the protesters.

In that column I accepted the protester’s allegations as true. But as the week has gone on and the protesters have been exposed as anti-first amendment, selectively racist, and, last night, willing to perpetrate actual lies to get more attention, isn’t it time to examine whether these incidents are actually real?

Tripwire – Of Course Wall Street Wants/Needs Marco Rubio…

The currently considered TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) trade deal has the potential to be the fulcrum under every plank in the 2016 presidential election. Many people view immigration as the #1 concern underlying further economic issues – however, few people recognize that immigration is actually part of the TPP construct.

So lets take this conversation back to where it belongs, at the point where massive money intersects with consequential presidential politics.

TPP trade 2

Globalists, via Wall Street international financiers, are determined to get TPP passed into law.  Only a few of the GOP candidates stand in the way; and off those few only one serious candidate is a risk to their objectives.   Candidate Donald Trump is the primary roadblock to the current globalist goals…. And as such, they support Marco Rubio. (more…)
