Ted Cruz isn’t the only presidential candidate trying to hide his support of the globalist trade deal known as TPP.   Marco Rubio is trying a similar approach at avoidance.

It would appear that both Rubio and Cruz have recognized that not only is TPP unpopular, but their support for TPP has the potential to expose their hidden alignments with Wall Street globalists. 

This election will be won/lost around this issue – watch.

( Via Breitbart ) Marco Rubio declared the Trans-Pacific Partnership to be one of three essential “pillars” of a Rubio Presidency—is now taking issue with a Wall Street Journal news report that lists Rubio as supporting the unpopular Obamatrade pact he voted to fast-track.

The Wall Street Journal article observed that: “Still backing the trade legislation are the party’s establishment wing candidates: Sen. Marco Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida and Govs. John Kasich of Ohio and Chris Christie of New Jersey.”

Indeed, it was in the very pages of the Wall Street Journal that on April 29th Rubio wrote: “We must rebuild our own military capabilities, conclude and pass TPP, and renew our support for freedom and the rule of law in Asia.” (more…)

Notice the emphasis in the first sentence.  The testimonial for candidate support from the campaign manager Berry Bennett is to quote social media metrics: “Facebook friends, twitter mentions and google searches” – something very odd feeling about that.

If Ben Carson’s actual Facebook following are “real people” (4.7 million according to his Facebook page) and not purchased “likes”, then why does he not show up with greater support in the post debate polls?

Drudge shows Carson in 5th place with 8,000 votes (less than 5%) in their post debate polling.   The Time Poll has less than 4% support for Carson; and around 9% at The Blaze.

IMPORTANT INFO – We are going to be flying directly into the heart of the explosive issues within various political candidates and their supportive constructs.  It is fully anticipated that much of the content will be disconcerting to many, and exceptionally challenging for those holding historic sensibilities of accepted political norms.

With that in mind I am specifically informing readership that site administrators have been requested to delete and moderate comments -with exponentially increased severity- for anything off topic to the substance of the posts.

There will not be secondary warnings or requests.

I am also requesting site admin to begin removing comment ability from those noted to be consistently ignoring links and following the available supportive data within posts prior to commenting.   It is with full understanding this approach may effectively result in two-thirds of current comments being dropped that I am making this request.

The ongoing goal is QUALITY not quantity.  Informed comments/contributions from people who are genuinely interested in discussing the substantive issues results in thoughtful discussion.  There are large and significant stakes being discussed and serious adversaries who would like nothing more than to create distractions and confusion.

Intellectual dishonesty is simply not acceptable – it has traveled beyond annoying, it’s distracting, often intentionally so.  Readers/contributors who do not use the resources, links and research tools presented -yet consistently deliver factually flawed information- will be identified and where appropriate commenting capability removed.

Additional guidelines are available HERE.

Thanks in advance,

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 †

Notice that Candidate Donald Trump is the only Top Tier Candidate who stands in opposition to Obama Trade.  Borrowing something succinct from a previous comment: (more…)

I’m not quite sure which is the more concerning aspect:  A) that Des Moines Register reporter Brianne Pfannenstiel thought it was ok to mock and ridicule donors to Donald Trump’s campaign; B) That she thought it was ok to publicly broadcast their home addresses; C) That she is still employed; D) Given the issue(s) – that the Des Moines Register editorial staff thought it would be appropriate for them to publish an article with her findings.

It would appear the DMR is beyond tone-deaf, or they just don’t care.  You decide:

Brianne Pfannenstiel for The Des Moines Register –  At least 20 Iowans have given money to Donald Trump — a man who, by all accounts, doesn’t need a dime. (more…)

BREAKING: The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Rules 2-1 to uphold Judge Hanen Injunction (full ruling pdf below)

In a 2-1 ruling of the Fifth CCA (Judge King has lengthy Dissent) the injunction against President Obama’s Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program (“DAPA”) has been upheld.

The DAPA is commonly referred to as Obama’s Executive Amnesty – Obama Loses.

Twenty Six states filed suit to block the November ’14 Executive Order. A Texas Judge, Andrew Hanen, issued an injunction blocking implementation.  Obama appealed the injunction and lost; then appealed again based on standing – and just lost again.  Here’s the ruling:

[scribd id=289170310 key=key-T0voaCtTiCIoDh7v3Q5W mode=scroll]

However, the release of the 5th Circuit decision today may allow the Supreme Court time to take up the dispute in Obama’s term, if a third appeal is attempted.  A favorable Supreme Court ruling could then override the injunction and permit Obama to implement the executive actions next summer.

The problem for the White House is the substantive legal issues within the original Hanen ruling have not been argued in Hanen’s court or the/any appellate court.  They have only argued the ability of Hanen to block them (ie “standing), not the merits of the underlying case.

Therefore the route to SCOTUS would only be on the legal issues of Hanen’s injunction – and not on the legal issues of the Executive Order itself. It’s doubtful SCOTUS would take up such a case.
