Forget President Obama breaking 40 years of U.S. diplomatic policy and engaging in direct talks with Iran…. forget that.
Forget President Obama breaking 50 years of U.S. diplomatic policy and engaging in direct political relationships with the communists in Cuba…. forget that too.
The Donald took a phone call from the President of Taiwan.
Oh, the winning… odd how it just seems to self-create now.
Recently reelected Democrat House Leader Nancy Pelosi (moonbat via San Francisco California) claims, in the face of another historic election loss, the Democrats don’t need a change in direction they just need a better vehicle to communicate their ideology.
Just a quick note to point out amid the insufferable MSM ‘splodey head chatter about Trump’s adult children participating in the transition team conversation.
Has anyone noted the media doesn’t project that same ridiculous narrative toward Karen Pence’s elegant and eloquent support?
Frankly, the entire banter about the families of the incoming administration participating in the transition is beyond silly, it’s laughable. Obviously the challenges of structuring and running an executive administration require an all consuming 24/7/365 effort.
It’s not an issue for any administration, including Michelle and President Obama or Jill and VP Biden, to be involved and provide personal advice/counsel on any issue. Period.
Exactly the opposite is true; we should all be thankful for the support network around of our nation’s executive leadership, and to see their family participating in that regard should be applauded. There is every reason to see, sense and feel more confidence in this approach; not silly controversy.
President-elect Donald Trump met last week with former Vice President Dan Quayle, and no-one seemed to bat an eye. President-Elect Donald Trump meets today with former Vice President Al Gore and everyone goes bananas.
Ask yourself, who is stating the reasoning was to discuss “climate change” – Trump or the MSM?
There is absolutely no indication the reason for either meeting was dissimilar in any way, and yet…. See, it’s called ‘projection’; that is the almost knee-jerk reaction created by decades of battered conservative syndrome. I digress:
Judge Clifton Newman has declared a mistrial after the jury returned to further deliberations Monday in the Officer Michael Slager trial, and are unable to reach a unanimous verdict over the charges of Murder or Voluntary Manslaughter:
Let it be perfectly clear, this outcome, all they way through trial and jury deliberations, has followed the exact tract many CTH researchers and observers predicted since the initial case research. The entire state case rested upon provable malice. – Full Case Research Outlines Here –
Based entirely on the facts that were evident in this case, CTH and most participants within the discussion threads therein, it was transparently predictable today’s outcome would be the final disposition of the case.
Update: According to a preliminary media debrief of the jury, which was outlined during a question at the post trial press conference:
The slager jury was hung on the Voluntary Manslaughter charge.
The Jury was a unanimous 'not guilty' on the Murder Charge.— TheLastRefuge (@TheLastRefuge2) December 5, 2016
We will expand on this later today in an update which will follow and expand on the issues at hand.
Most knew this was upcoming; today it is official…
(New York, NY) – President-elect Donald J. Trump today announced his intent to nominate Dr. Ben Carson to serve as Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Dr. Carson is a distinguished national leader who overcame his troubled youth in the inner city of Detroit to become a renowned neurosurgeon who served as the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland.
“I am thrilled to nominate Dr. Ben Carson as our next Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,” said President-elect Trump. “Ben Carson has a brilliant mind and is passionate about strengthening communities and families within those communities”.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus, a potential candidate for Secretary of State, was interviewed by George Stephanopoulos earlier today.
An interesting aspect – It appears Stephanopoulos, a severe Clinton loyalist, is attempting to head off the potential for Petraeus by undermining him during this broadcast.
This highlights an aspect we won’t see discussed on MSM. If you understand the Benghazi Brief, you can see how Petraeus might be a risk to Secretary Clinton if he were to become the Secretary of State. However, Petraeus’s prior refusal to push-back against the Clinton/Panetta covert Egypt, Libya and Syria construct has been the source of my own angst toward Petraeus.
That said, does Petraeus hold a hidden, albeit substantive, chip on his shoulder?… hmmmm… that might be useful. Odds are, no. But you never know.
