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 †

Doing some general research we dropped by the Go-Fund-Me sites to see how successful the Philando Castile Team have been.   So far the three fundraising accounts, previously managed by Black Lives Matter activists, are exceeding:  $254,907.00

• Mama Valerie Castile’s account leading the way with $163,674  (link)
• Big Sis Allysza’s account comes in second with $60,939 (link)
• Lavish Reynolds account third with a paultry $30,294  (link)

Total $254,907

So far, a strong success. (more…)

For those who are following the Minnesota “Falcon Heights” shooting of Philando Castile by Officer Jeronimo Yanez, we are going to provide some rather astonishing information that is completely counter to the MSM narrative advanced by Lavish “aka Diamond” Reynolds.
However, as a warm-up to that exploration, a brief refresher, an analogy, is warranted.

..”They Shot That Boy For No Reason !”

[ In May of 2015 ] the police approached a man on the street in Baltimore suspected of carrying a firearm. Before the police could reach him the man took off running. During the pursuit the suspects handgun either fell, or was dropped, as he fled. The suspects gun went off when it hit the ground. Fortunately no-one was hit by the discharge. The man was tackled by the chasing officers and then, out of an abundance of caution, transported via ambulance.
No police officer fired their weapons. No-one was shot. The only firearm discharge was from the fleeing suspect as his firearm hit the ground.
Now watch this video of how a female “eye-witness”, injected her perception of the event, and quickly reported it to the media and enraged the community. Passionate, angry, tearful and adamant about what she witnessed.
[wpvideo 0Oyl8gXP]
Of course, none of that is true. Nothing she is describing actually took place.  This should be a case study in how unreliable agenda witness statements actually are. (more…)

Matt Finn just reported for Fox9 News in Minnesota confirming some details and adding a few more after discussion with Yanez attorney and investigators:

• Officer Jeronimo Yanez is Mexican not Asian as claimed by Diamond Reynolds.
• Philando Castile and Diamond Reynolds did not comply with instructions to keep their hands “up, visible and don’t move them”.
• There was a handgun “visible” on the lap of Philando Castile
• Officer Yanez reacted to the gun and Philando Castile’s movements.
• Confirmation again that officer Yanez did pull over Castile and Reynolds as an outcome of Castile fitting the profile from the armed robbery July 2nd.

10:25am AP UPDATE:  An attorney for a suburban Minneapolis police officer who killed a black motorist says the officer reacted to the man’s gun, not his race. (more…)

Democrat Congresswoman Corrine Brown appeared in federal court Friday to face a twenty-two count federal indictment for fraud, conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, making false statements and more (full federal charge doc pdf below).
She immediately claimed her DOJ investigation caused the Orlando terrorist massacre.

“Congresswoman Brown is the subject of an indictment today, but in reality, she has endured a one-sided inquisition in the court of public opinion over one year,” White said. “Perhaps had [the Department of Justice] chosen to devote its resources more thoughtfully, 50 people would be alive today.” (read more)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.— Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) pleaded not guilty to 22 federal charges Friday.
She walked into the courtroom for her first appearance on almost a dozen federal charges and then walked back out again. She arrived at the courthouse a few hours ahead of her appearance. (more…)

(<– NOTE picture on left is Obama yesterday)
ABC News is reporting that President Obama will be cutting his trip in Europe short by one day and will travel to Dallas Texas early next week:

(ABC) President Obama is cutting his Europe trip short and will visit Dallas next week, the White House announced tonight.
“The President will return to Washington on Sunday night – one day earlier than planned,” the White House press secretary said in a statement. “The President will no longer travel to Seville.”

Texas governor Greg Abbott revealed the Dallas shooter, Micah X Johnson, left a complete manifesto discussing his ideological beliefs and grievances.  So it should not be too difficult for the FBI and local law enforcement to identify his specific motive, and allegiances.
In addition, the Daily Mail is revealing his home was filled with bomb making material,  ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition and a personal journal of combat tactics.  However, you can be guaranteed we won’t find the MSM chasing down that manifesto any time soon; it cuts against their preferred narrative.
According to Chuck Ross at The Daily Caller Micah Johnson’s Facebook page suggests that he supported the Black Power movement and black activist groups.
His page shows that he “liked” the several Black Lives Matter chapters, including those in St. Paul and Minneapolis, where Philando Castile was killed by a police officer during a traffic stop on Wednesday.
