With candidate Hillary Clinton now slipping in the polls; and specifically with polls showing Trump ahead of Clinton in Colorado, anticipate some form of extremist protest to erupt in either Ohio, Wisconsin or Colorado.  This is traditionally a leftist tactic.
Colorado is favorable for leftist agitation, and unfortunately the Colorado republican party is filled with Bush-minded cocktail class elitism.  The perfect combination for a UniParty attack against the existential threat to their grip on power, Donald Trump.
Tonight Donald Trump is holding a campaign rally in Colorado Springs, CO at JetCenters of Colorado. Live coverage begins at 7:30pm MT / 9:30pm EDT:

Stunning is an understatement.  This is beyond absurd.  There has been a tenuous cease-fire in Syria for the past 4 days, negotiated by Russia, between Bashir Assad’s Syrian Army and the militant fighters in the Islamic State (ISIS).
Today, the United States has broken the cease-fire; not Syria, not ISIS – the U.S. broke the cease-fire, and actually attacked Syrian ground troops.   U.S. Centcom commanders are now admitting they made a “mistake”.
A mistake?  …that accidentally assists ISIS.
(Via Fox News) The U.S. military halted an air raid against the Islamic State terror group in eastern Syria on Saturday after learning it struck a Syrian military unit by mistake, a U.S. Central Command official confirmed to Fox News.
The official said the U.S. military was “certain” about the outcome of the strike. Officials had been watching these forces “for a few days” thinking they were ISIS.
Syria and Russia said the U.S.-led coalition had struck a Syrian military base in Deir el-Zour that was surrounded by ISIS fighters, enabling them to advance. The U.S. is not known to have directly struck Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces at any point during the five-year civil war. (more…)

Grifters gotta grift.   Despite the brutally obvious conflict-of-interest represented by charging $250,000, $100,000 or $50,000 to join Bill and Hillary for a birthday bash (proceeds to benefit the Clinton Foundation *nudge, nudge* … *wink, wink* … “say-no-more, say-no-more”),  Bill and Hillary just can’t help themselves. 
It’s what they do.  It’s what they know.

New York – For a giant, flashing sign that the Clintons’ influence-peddling will never end, look no further than Bill’s 70th birthday party Friday night at the Rainbow Room — which of course is a Clinton Foundation fundraising bash.
Yup, that’s right; show ’em the money, money, money: Donors must give $250,000 to be a “chair” of the party, six figures to be a co-chair, 50 grand to be a vice chair.
True, buying a ticket will get you some glam — Barbara Streisand, Jon Bon Jovi and Wynton Marsalis are all to perform. But how many others hope their gift will at least get them onto some future White House guest list, and possibly buy even larger favors?
Oh, and the foundation won’t disclose the night’s donors, despite earlier promises to do so. And it will keep taking all “gifts” right up through Nov. 7 (at least).

According to multiple media reports several ‘pipe bomb style devices’ were discovered after a garbage can exploded in New Jersey along the route of a Marine Benefit 5k race.
Fortunately, the start of the race was delayed by a longer than expected registration.  This perhaps saved numerous people from injury as one device exploded before the participants were in the vicinity.   The FBI is taking over the investigation and possibly considering a terrorist related angle…
SEASIDE PARK — An explosive device went off in a garbage pail Saturday morning along the route of a 5K run and walk to benefit military soldiers.
Multiple devices were also found “wired together” in the same garbage pail, but they did not detonate, according to Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.
The explosion occurred along the route of the Seaside Semper Five Marine Corps Charity 5K at around 9:30 a.m. (more…)

[ Transcript ]  Thank you. It is so great to be in my second home, Florida, and in the city of Miami where I have so many wonderful friends and employees.
New polls have just come in, and we’re leading in battleground states all over this country – including four points here in Florida. LA Times has us up 6 points nationwide.
Come November 8^th, we are going to win Florida and we are going to win the White House.

It’s going to be a victory for the people – it’s going to be a victory for the workers, the families, the Veterans, the everyday citizens.
And it’s going to be a victory for those who haven’t had reason for hope in a long time.
I’m campaigning in every community, and every part of this country, for every last vote. I am running to be a President for all Americans.

The Kindergarten rules are not overly complex.  Don’t interrupt. Wait your turn. Put things back where you found them.  Clean up after yourself. Keep elbows off the table. Say please and thank you.  Be considerate. Don’t talk with your mouth full. Keep your shoes off the furniture, mostly if is luxury furniture like the best recliners or sofas.
Here’s a representative sample of Donald Trump’s press pool.  This is how they appear to the majority of the electorate who do, actually, teach manners.  This is also how the rest of the world sees modern American journalists; as they represented themselves yesterday:

After reviewing the over-the-top entitled nonsense from the press pool covering presidential candidate Donald Trump, I then saw this video: (more…)

Yesterday afternoon candidate Donald Trump became the first presidential candidate to ever visit “Little Haiti”, a Miami neighborhood. During the visit candidate Trump delivered some prepared remarks, however most of the time was listening to concerns from the audience:

Miami Herald […] The remarks earned Trump applause from attendees, several of whom said they went because they were curious and wanted to hear what Trump had to say. Most of their remarks to the candidate focused on their personal disappointment over the lack of progress in Haiti despite the involvement of Bill and Hillary Clinton. (more…)

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

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 †
