In response to candidate Donald Trump’s policy remarks surrounding Islamic extremism, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Sarah Murray transmit the following via twitter.

Think about this carefully:

“Trump anti-ISIS speech would mark radical new U.S. policy”

Really?   So the current U.S. policy is “Pro-ISIS” and that’s “Not-Radical”?

Because everyone knows if you oppose crucifixions, drowning people in cages, chopping heads off and burning people to death, you must be embarking on some new U.S. policy that’s “radical”…. or something.

I’m going through the transcript and video now and will be expanding on the overall speech in a subsequent and substantive post.  However, a quick few notations are in order.

Candidate Donald Trump’s specific speech today was a rebuke to the 2009 speech of President Obama made in Cairo Egypt.  Don’t let the media ignoring that aspect fall silently past you, it’s critical.

The 2009 Cairo Speech by President Obama, his “Mid-east Obama Doctrine”, was the detonation tool, the exact epicenter, for the explosion that created the “Arab Spring”.  Go back and refresh your memory if needed.  It was a specific moment in time. It was a specifically worded ideological speech, and it held specific goals and intentions.

The media will now go into overdrive to protect President Obama from the bigger truth which can come out as a result of this enlarged conversation.   It was President Obama who gave rise to the “Arab Spring”.  You can guarantee the media will go nuts trying to avoid that reality. Watch…

Sometimes this stuff just makes you laugh (inappropriately) out loud, at the worst possible moments….  Way, W.A.Y, too funny:

There appears to be a great deal of angst and anxiety surrounding the 2016 Presidential race that is genuinely unnecessary. When you know the playbook, when you know what’s predictably going to happen, there’s no reason to be upset when each tripwire is triggered.

The only time concern is truly warranted, is when one of the tripwires are not triggered. The mosquitoes that buzz, don’t bite – they’re just annoying.

Having said that, and having previously outlined the playbook for most of the 2016 election previously, let’s take a closer look at what is on the horizon.

However, before outlining the predictable, it is important to remember: almost all of the professional political punditry already know this stuff – they’re just acting as if they believe the political Potemkin village is real to retain a paycheck.

Back in 2015, when several readers still genuinely believed the Potemkin village was real, we tackled the question of:  what would happen if the financial class, the donors who fund the political pantomime, saw Donald Trump as an inevitable candidate?

What we shared over a year ago remains today: (more…)

New York – A man suspected of gunning down a Queens imam and his friend outside a mosque was taken into custody Sunday night, sources said.

The motive in the horrific Saturday afternoon killings may be an ongoing feud between Muslims and Hispanics, according to sources. They said an NYPD Regional Fugitive Task Force was conducting what turned out to be a “brief surveillance” on the suspect in Queens when he rammed an unmarked cop car and officers nabbed him.

Police officials could not confirm whether a suspect was in custody.  Video of the Saturday night ambush showed the shooting was a planned execution. (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 †

Unfortunately when the wider U.S. electorate voted the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers to be the president of the United States they were, perhaps unwittingly, ushering in a new era of fundamental change, governmental weaponization.

Events and outcomes ceased to be determined by laws, and the politics of any given event became the overriding filter through which all action, or lack thereof, would be determined. The last seven years have provided numerous examples for points of reference.

The IRS investigation of conservative groups was driven by politics, not legality. The investigation of officer Darren Wilson was driven by politics, not evidence or legality. The arrests of the Baltimore Six were driven by politics, not factual, substantial evidence. The FBI decision not to recommend an indictment of Hillary Clinton was driven by politics not evidence.

These are just a few examples of manipulated common law principles that have been overridden by considerations of political benefits.  The law is what they say it is, and everything is open to interpretation.  The rules are what they say they are, and subject to change at any opportune moment.

2016 is an election year.

Last night an officer involved shooting of an armed habitual offender led to riots, looting, arson and violence in Milwaukee Wisconsin.  Nothing cries out for justice like a stolen set of hair weaves. Unfortunately, Milwaukee is on the list as one the the top 10 cities with hidden racial violence and local media frozen with political correctness.

Today, fearing another night of chaos, violence and mayhem, Governor Scott Walker has activated the national guard.  Fortunately, the officer involved was also black.

UPDATE: Milwaukee police officer who fatally shot armed suspect is black. More to come.
