Today President Obama signed the PROMESA (Puerto Rico Bailout) bill created by representative Paul Ryan, and with it the immediate suspension of the Fifth Amendment which was supported by a Senate vote yesterday.

The Fifth Amendment protects U.S. Citizens from federal seizure of property without compensation.

It applies in this instance to Puerto Rico via the general obligation bonds (property) purchased by municipal bond holders (investing citizens), which were supposed to be repaid, and which congress has now determined can be frozen.

In addition, PROMESA suspends legal redress, by blocking bond holders (property owners) from suing the debtor (PR) to recover their property.   In essence the Fifth Amendment is suspended, and the rights of those whose property has been confiscated to use the courts has been preemptively denied.

FIFTH AMENDMENT – No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

An unelected, entirely appointed, bureaucratic panel of DC political agents/appointees is now in control of the entire process. (more…)

Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Bangor Maine yesterday. For some odd reason the U.S. national media didn’t quite share the scope of the support he found there.

Hmmm?… I wonder why:

It does not take a political junkie to begin connecting the globalist dots. And with the brutality of the sunlight upon them, the affiliations become increasingly transparent.
Samantha Power, Ted Cruz, Barack Obama, Mitch McConnell, Heidi Cruz and Paul Ryan UNITED in common cause!  Anticipate Glenn Beck and Mark Levin to run the distraction and avoidance campaign.

(Via Bloomberg) At least 15 U.S. companies led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Alphabet Inc. have pledged money to help the Obama administration resettle refugees fleeing the Syrian civil war and other international conflicts.
[…] The companies have pledged to fund programs that assist refugees and aid workers directly. Airbnb Inc., for example, will donate credits for relief workers to book housing through its site.
[*note* Bloomberg edits their original article, removing a sentence from paragraph above and notes: “Corrected to remove reference to Chobani yogurt hiring additional refugees in ninth paragraph, which the company has not announced.”]
Goldman Sachs, which has already contributed $4.5 million in response to the crisis, says it will underwrite programs to help refugees learn English and gain employment skills. Alphabet’s Google will provide consulting and technology to nonprofits the company says will help more than 1 million refugees worldwide access information and education this year. (more…)

More evidence for the last several weeks of transparent media agenda polling (poll manipulation) surfaces today with the release of a new Rasmussen Poll.
Overall Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton 43/39.  With Independent Voters (no party affiliation) Trump leads Clinton 45/27:

However, perhaps the most stunning internal detail in the poll is this:

[…]  Trump how holds a 14-point lead among men, while Clinton leads by six among women. The candidates are tied among those under 40, while Trump leads among older voters.
Clinton continues to hold a wide lead among blacks. Trump leads among whites and other minority voters. (link)

Yes, Trump leads among Hispanic voters.

Perhaps you’ve read or heard about the 29-year-old California driver, Stacey Sanchez, who was driving drunk, hit a pedestrian, and continued driving home with most of his body impaled in the front windshield.   One of 69-year-old Jack Ray Tenhulzen’s severed legs was also sticking out the back window when Sanchez parked and went inside her home to sleep.  Story Here

If you read yesterday’s local media update to the horrific story, when Ms. Sanchez appeared in court, way down at the bottom of the article you’ll find this:

[…]  Superior Court Judge James Mangione kept Sanchez’ bail at $1.5 million. She also has an immigration hold, which means that if she were to be released she would be turned over to immigration authorities to determine whether she may be deported.  (link)

Yes, Ms. Sanchez is an illegal alien.

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 †

In an effort to prove how enlightened, cosmopolitan and multicultural they are as a progressive society – Canada has been accepting thousands of refugees from the Middle East. 
In honor of their superiority, today the upper-cloistered team gathered to celebrate a new era.  A modern era of North American rulers who decree their own enlightenment.

However,…

Faith Goldy of TheRebel.media began to hear reports of migrant children in various Canadian relocation areas who were abusing and bullying other students. So she set up a tip line ([email protected]) for parents to share what was going on.
Using that tip line, a New Brunswick parent told Faith Goldy there were migrant “children” at her child’s High School as old as 22.  These adult males “with full beards” are “hitting on the 14-15 year old girls.”
TheRebel.media then filed a Freedom of Information request to get to the bottom of the claim.  Over 2,700 documents came in, and more are on the way.  Emails between teachers reveal what’s going on in their classrooms, and what they say will shock you. (more…)

Details emerge of how coordinated the terrorist attack was on Ataturk airport in Turkey.  Unfortunately the death toll has risen to 42, and the number of wounded 238.  So far no terror organization has claimed official responsibility, however most intelligence and security analysts believe ISIS was to blame.
TURKEY – The terrorists who killed dozens at a busy airport in Istanbul took advantage of the panic sparked when they opened fire at a security checkpoint to detonate their explosives, according to the Turkish prime minister.
The details from the prime minister and others from a Turkish official come as investigators begin to piece together the timeline of the attack at Istanbul’s Ataturk International Airport, which left 42 dead and 238 wounded.
Turkey’s Prime Minister, Binali Yildirim, said today the attack, which took place around 10 p.m. Tuesday, began “when the terrorists couldn’t pass the regular security system, when they couldn’t pass the scanners, police and security controls,” Yildirim said.
“They returned and took out their weapons out of their suitcases and opened fire at random at the security check,” he added. (more…)
