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 †
It was only August 17th when Dr. Drew Pinsky said Hillary Clinton may be receiving “inadequate health care that is not optimal for her condition” during an interview where Pinsky discussed the alarming history of her medical conditions. (See Video)
Today, CNN’s Headline News cancelled his show:
Dr. Drew and his team have delivered more than five years of creative shows and I want to thank them for their hard work and distinctive programming,” Jautz said. “Dr. Drew has been an authoritative voice on addiction and on many other topical issues facing America today. ~ Ken Jautz CNN Executive
Poll credibility maintenance requires careful optics, and illusions of grandeur:
Note the AFGE crew (mid-way) wearing T-shirts, and also the back rows of blue union t-shirts.
The “vast right-wing conspiracy” went weirdly global today when Hillary Clinton delivered an actual presidential speech claiming she was being chased around by looming global forces of darkness, aligned in ideological intent to ensure her destruction.
OMG, the Weekly News was correct:
[…] “The de facto merger between Breitbart and the Trump Campaign represents a landmark achievement for the “Alt-Right.” A fringe element has effectively taken over the Republican Party.
This is part of a broader story — the rising tide of hardline, right-wing nationalism around the world.
Just yesterday, one of Britain’s most prominent right-wing leaders, Nigel Farage, who stoked anti-immigrant sentiments to win the referendum on leaving the European Union, campaigned with Donald Trump in Mississippi”.

OMG…. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton further noted the Zika virus affects her constituents in key battleground state, Florida’s Dade county. Men in strange white suits were previously noticed coming out of secret room in Trump tower.
Everyone is trying to figure out the difference between the Trump speeches and Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway’s media presentations in discussion of them. Many are perplexed. However, it all appears to be part of a larger campaign strategy.
Campaign CEO Steve Bannon is in charge of the speeches, the content, the messaging and delivery therein. Followed by Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway in charge of how the campaign engages with the media in response to those speeches. It’s a bad cop, good cop scenario (per se’).
Trump/Bannon attack the establishment, then Conway sells it as a call out to the more moderate middle (hence the appearance of “pivots”). Each role-player with a unique role to play.
It’s a little bit funny because depending on your source of media, there are two simultaneous campaigns.
If you watch TV (traditional media) you get mostly the softer message, the “moderate middle” conversation. However, if you actually watch the event rallies -and take the messaging from the direct sourcing- you get the more coarse version, the brutally honest version, the “vulgarian/anti-establishment conversation”.
It’s an entirely new era, a new paradigm in campaigning. A great example today in New Hampshire: (more…)
With a new multi-million contract, the largest position of influence she has ever held amid the professional political class, and replete with a custom upper-west side makeover, Donald Trump’s new Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway brings further clarity toward her objectives with the Trump campaign.
During an interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, Mrs. Conway discusses her impression of voters she has no historic reference for or relationship with. Contrasted against the DC beltway cocktail class, and country club republicans, Conway describes meeting “the Trump movement“, in affectionate -albeit cutesy condescending- terms.
Senator Jeff Sessions appeared on Fox and Friends this morning for an interview. Topics included the current presidential race and Donald Trump’s immigration proposal(s):

When the discussion of possible ransom payments to Iran surfaced, everyone was wondering why the U.S. State Department sent pallets of assorted cash currency, totaling $400 million to Iran on January 17th 2016. The same day the hostages were released.
On August 4th President Obama held a press conference to discuss the controversy and denied it was a “ransom payment” (see video). Specifically, to answer the question of “why cash“, President Obama said:
[06:05] “and the only bit of news that is relevant on this, is the fact that we paid cash. Which brings me to my last point.
The reason that we had to give them cash is precisely because we are so strict in maintaining sanctions, and we do not have a banking relationship with Iran, that we couldn’t send them a check; and we could not wire the money.
And it is not at all clear to me why it is that cash, as opposed to a check or a wire transfer has made this into a news story”. [06:46]
However, two days later, January 19th 2016, the U.S. Treasury wired Iran 13 individual payments for $99,999,999.99 , each with an independent MICR, totaling $1,299,999,999.87.
