When Will We Get To See The Roanoke Shooters Manifesto?…

Many of us have been asking this very question. In the aftermath of the Charleston shooting the media spent days deconstructing the pontification attributed to Dylann Roof in his manifesto; even the Valdosta Times published the highly racist screed of Eric Sheppard Jr (Valdosta State Terrorist) while he was on the run from the FBI, but for some reason ABC and CNN news is reluctant in the extreme to showcase the mindset of Vester Flanagan.
roanoke 1One can only imagine how much the Roanoke shooter’s words cut a swath counter to the preferred media narrative.
(PJ Media) Two days ago, ABC News reported that Vester Flanagan, the murderer of two WDBJ employees, sent a 23-page faxed manifesto to ABC News. ABC reported bits and pieces of the manifesto.
Yet we still haven’t seen the full document. ABC hasn’t made it available. Why?
John Nolte and others have been busy hammering away at the racial hypocrisy of many in the media after treating Flanagan’s crimes very differently from Dylann Roof’s. Unquestionably, they were both racially motivated. (more…)

Donald Trump Tonight – Massachusetts Presser and Speech (Videos)…

The press conference was good. The aspects of Jeb Bush and Eric Cantor endorsement well placed. The pressure upon Wall Street (Hedge Fund Super-PACs) continues; this is specifically to retain pressure on Jeb’s RNC/GOPe financiers, and smart strategy:

Donald Trump Discusses Mental Health, Gun Control and Current Events: "it's not a gun problem, it's a mental health problem"…

Donald Trump is killing it in Norwood Massachussetts right now – will post video later (more tripwires triggered – Go Donald!).  However, earlier today Trump was on CNN talking to Chris Cuomo   But earlier today he was on CNN talking about gun control issues against the backdrop of the Roanoke shooting.
Very well presented, common sense talk – devoid of political gobbledygook.


In addition, according to the bookmakers Donald Trump is now the odds-on favorite to win the nomination.

Donald Trump Masterfully Exposed the Bias of Megyn Kelly….

Breitbart.Com has a very well written article about the Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly dust up.   Anyone who has watched the evolution of Kelly and saw the visible pre-debate intentions on display, will see the validity in Breitbart viewpoint.

Megyn Kelly Debate[…] The advocacy style of Kelly—who values being seen in mainstream media circles as a respectable journalist, a somehow neutral arbiter of the news—that Trump has exposed is toxic in the long run for her career and for her network. As she’s risen as a popular anchor, the network for which she works has worked overtime and spent millions of dollars to present her as a modern Walter Cronkite or Edward R. Murrow. They’ve painted a picture of Kelly as a news woman who tells America the truth, no matter what it is, in a fair and balanced manner.

But what Trump has done in a truly special manner is expose that fallacy. It’s not that Trump’s war with Kelly isn’t petty—it is, and it is probably counterproductive to be fighting with a television personality for weeks on end as he’s soaring in the polls. He could be fighting with the Mexican or Chinese governments or with Democrats or his fellow GOP candidates—all of which would be more conducive to helping him earn more supporters—but Trump isn’t someone who backs down easily–and since Kelly came after him, not the other way around, he feels like he needs to win. Well, in the regard of whether or not Kelly is in fact impartial, Trump has a decisive victory. (more…)

Leaked Instructions – GOPe Leaders Give Senators Talking Points For August Recess…

The Mitch McConnell legislative agenda was written for him prior to taking his position as Senate Majority Leader.  The author of the agenda was a group of Wall Street financiers who organize under the construct of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Tom Donohue as CoC President.

Donohue then spends millions through K-Street lobbyists to insure his legislative priorities are maintained.  In the run-up to the 2014 mid-terms Donohue was very specific on what his demands were of the GOPe team, Boehner and McConnell:

♦ Comprehensive Immigration Reform – to include Amnesty for illegal aliens. (link)

♦ Support for full delivery of Federal Common CORE education standards (link)

♦ The full implementation of ObamaCare without adjustment. (link)

♦ Trans Pacific Trade Deal (link) (Currently in negotiations)

So it should come as no surprise to see the hand-out given to the Republican senators by John Thune would specifically call for the GOP to frame the CoC position on these issues in the August recess ‘Town Hall’ meetings. (more…)

Common Core Approved – Black Lives Matter Textbooks For Middle School…

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Jeb Bush and most of the establishment republican candidates support Common Core educational standards.   Here’s yet another example of the indoctrination principles inherent therein:

(Via MyNorthwest) Starting in January of 2016, 6-12 grade social studies teachers will have the opportunity to teach from a “Black Lives Matter” textbook that meets Common Core criteria.
“The first chapter opens up with Michael Brown and Ferguson,” says the textbook’s co-author, Macalester College Professor Duchess Harris. “And then we backtrack to do a historical overview of interactions that African Americans have had with police encounters, historically. Then we return to Trayvon Martin and go all the way up to Baltimore.”
Harris, who lives in Minnesota and has already written a book on the civil rights movement, co-wrote the book with a journalist close to the issue. (more…)

El Sisi and King Abdullah Meet With Vladimir Putin In Moscow – Joint Terrorist Fighting Alliance – Putin Fills Obama Void…

Remember this moment years from now when everyone wonders why Russia has replaced the U.S. in the sphere of influence.  Egyptian President Fattah el-Sisi met with King Abdullah II of Jordan during a scheduled visit to Moscow.  Both President el-Sisi and King Abdullah have been blocked from visits to the White House.

sisi and abdullah iiEGYPT – According to Egyptian presidency spokesperson Alaa Youssef, the two Arab leaders discussed counter-terrorism strategies and acknowledged the importance of regional and international alliances in combatting threats posed by extremist and terrorist organisations in the Middle East. El-Sisi and Abdullah II also acknowledged the importance of military cooperation between their own countries and across the wider Arab world.

[…]  Regarding Libya, the two leaders renewed their support to the elected Libyan government and the national Libyan army, while advocating a political solution in the country. The heads of state also agreed on the importance of supporting the Iraqi government in its efforts to achieve stability and unity in the country. (more…)
