Today candidate Donald Trump is delivering a veterans reform policy speech at the Westin Virginia Beach Town Center.  Virginia Beach is the perfect venue because of the high military and veteran population along the coast.
It was also Virginia Beach that delivered enough votes for a state primary win over GOPe candidate Marco Rubio.  The venue is closed to the general public and the speech is set for 1:00pm EDT.

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 †

Unbelievable, President Obama needs to get his Black Lives Matter crew under control quickly… Things are rapidly spiraling out of control.
LAKESHIRE • A former Affton High School football standout forced his way into a South County home and was shot and killed by an off-duty officer inside after a Facebook dispute over Black Lives Matter apparently boiled over late Saturday afternoon.
That’s what can be pieced together from the accounts of police and an uncle of Tyler Gebhard, who said the young man had been struggling with mental health issues.
“He walked over there and into a gunfight,” Gebhard’s uncle, Patrick Brogan said, drawing on accounts offered by friends of his nephew. “When he got there, he was met with a gun and the guy killed him.”  (more…)

We’ve been to this rodeo so frequently there’s a transparent pattern.
Notice anything missing?
♦ There does not appear to be a public call by the family of Philando Castile for the release of the radio dispatch from St. Anthony’s Police department.  Why do you think that is?
♦ There does not appear to be a public call by the family of Philando Castile for the immediate release of the Dash-Cam video.  Nor is the media driving that transparency narrative as they customarily do in high profile events.
Why do you think that is?
Regarding #1 point above.  The only release of the radio communication came from an anonymous leak to a local TV station.   The leak provided the essential framework to understand why Officer Yeronimo Yanez stopped the vehicle driven by Philando Castile.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani appeared on CBS Face The Nation today to discuss the racial animus driven by the professional Black Grievance Industry and Black Lives Matter activists.
With the backdrop of a growing Obama/MSM national narrative -which is leading to targeted assassination attempts of police- Mayor Giuliani pushes back hard against the divisive media intents promoted by CBS host, and best friend of Paul Ryan, John Dickerson.

In addition, the black chief of police in El Paso, Texas, labeled Black Lives Matter a “radical hate group” Friday night, blaming them for Thursday’s shooting in Dallas and calling on policymakers to take a closer look at the movement.

NBC and The Circus Show host Mark Halperin talks with Donald Trump and Bob Corker about the FBI’s refusal to indict Hillary Clinton after her email scandal as well as the status of his campaign at a rally of his in North Carolina.

The popular political showtime series “The Circus” returns for convention coverage Sunday July 10th at 8pm EDT.

Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn is a member of Donald Trump‘s ever-shortening VP shortlist.
The immigration portion of his veep audition on ABC News’ This Week with George Stephanopoulos probably helped him.
However, ABC knows the most effective way to divide, diminish and conquer the GOP electorate is to focus policy on social issues.   George Stephanopoulos famously displayed that goal during a weird 2012 GOP primary debate when he asked Mitt Romney if birth control was constitutional.
Fill-in host Martha Raddatz plays the transparent game and asks Flynn to weigh in on several social issues.  As expected the former DIA head veered sharply from traditional Republican orthodoxy.

Executive Level Gaslighting – Speaking at a press conference in Poland, President Obama actually said it is “very hard to untangle the motives” of the shooter in Dallas who killed five police officers Thursday evening. This statement is despite the shooter telling police exactly what his motive entailed.

“First of all, I think it’s very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter.  I’ll leave that to psychologists and people who study these kinds of incidents … I think the danger is that we somehow suggest the act of a troubled individuals speaks to some larger political statement across the country.”…

Consider the following contrast:
