Backstory HERE and HERE PORTLAND, Ore. – The leaders of an armed group who seized a national wildlife refuge in rural Oregon were acquitted Thursday in the 41-day standoff that brought new attention to a long-running dispute over control of federal lands in the U.S. West.
A jury found brothers Ammon and Ryan Bundy not guilty a firearm in a federal facility and conspiring to impede federal workers from their jobs at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, 300 miles southeast of Portland where the trial took place. Five co-defendants also were tried one or both of the charges. (more…)
A 12 page memo (pdf embed below) from Doug Band, a long-term Clinton aide and business operative, has cast sunlight into exactly how Bill and Hillary Clinton accumulated wealth after leaving the White House. The 2011 memo shows how Band leveraged corporate clients to benefit the Clinton Foundation, and the personal income of Bill Clinton specifically.
It is a rather complex dynamic to understand. Suggest beginning with this video news segment from Morning Joe:
The Washington Post story discussed in the Morning Joe segment is linked below along along with the 12 page memo itself. (more…)
Donald Trump’s second campaign rally today is in Toledo Ohio. The venue is the SeaGate Convention Centre and the start time is 4:00pm or earlier. Due to some technical issues consistently reoccurring with RSBN we are adding a forth option to the live stream: Live Stream Link – Alternate Live Stream #1 – Alternate Live Stream #2 – Alternate Live Stream #3
In the event the video is removed there’s a back-up below the fold:
Candidate Donald Trump and his family sat down for a recorded interview with ABC’s George Stephanopolous on Good Morning America. Stephanopolous was his usual pro-Clinton condescending elitist and arrogant self, trying earnestly to deliver a fatal blow to Trump in the final two weeks. The interview aired earlier today:
Donald Trump is campaigning today throughout the state of Ohio. Three scheduled events in Springfield (1pm), Toledo (4pm), and Geneva (7pm). The first event in Springfield takes place at Champion Center Expo at 1:00pm EDT: Live Stream Link – Alternate Live Stream #1 – Alternate Live stream #2
Yesterday’s significant example was in Butler County Ohio where requests for republican ballots have increased by a whopping 40% over 2012. Today, another VERY significant indication surfaces -albeit quietly- Minnesota’s deep blue CD-8. MINNESOTA – The eighth Congressional District of Minnesota is a working class area in Eastern Minnesota. It has voted for a Democrat in the last four Presidential elections. It has a Democrat Congressman and will likely be the most expensive Congressional race this year.
Usually, a Democrat Presidential candidate would win. But a recent poll held a shock:
Trump is beating Hillary by 12 points: “Our poll shows Republican Donald Trump with a 12-point lead over Clinton, 47 percent to 35 percent“
Trump is winning with women: “leading Clinton 41 percent to 39 percent.”
Dems are crossing over: “the number of Democrats dropped from 34 percent in 2014 to 27 percent in 2016. The number of independents jumped from 31 percent two years ago to 41 percent this year.“ (keep reading)
And signs of the Monster Votes doesn’t stop there. (more…)
Donald Trump delivered a powerful speech in Charlotte North Carolina highlighting a new vision for economic revitalization and American urban renewal. If you missed it, you should really watch or read it.
… […] American politics is caught in a time loop – we keep electing the same people, who keep making the same mistakes, and who keep offering the same excuses…
[Transcript] It is great to be here in Charlotte to discuss an issue that means so much to me. That is the issue of urban renewal, and the rebuilding of our inner cities.
Today I want to talk about how to grow the African-American middle class, and to provide a new deal for Black America. That deal is grounded in three promises: safe communities, great education, and high-paying jobs.
My vision rests on a principle that has defined this campaign: America First. (more…)
