There are some media reports, vague reports, that Noor Salman the terrorist’s wife, has mysteriously slipped away into “hiding”. Let’s hope those reports are incorrect and the FBI is tailing/tracking her. However, a direct question by the Daily Mail to the brother-in-law of terrorist Mateen makes the circle of knowledge seem wider than media previously would admit.
From the outset the social patterns -specific behavioral patterns- of Omar Mateen (shooter), Noor Salman (wife), Mariam or Mary (sister), and Seddique Mateen (dad), seem transparently obvious to have known in advance something was about to happen.
The similarities in networks and familial behaviors between Omar Mateen/Noor Salman and the San Bernardino terrorists Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik are very, very similar.
Now this report about Mariam Seddique’s husband, Mustafa Abasin (Omar Mateen’s brother in law), from Daily Mail: (more…)

House Speaker Paul ‘Omnibus‘ Ryan is quoted in a Huffington Post interview as threatening to sue President Trump if he attempted to initiate his proposed halt on Muslim immigration:

“I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers,” Ryan said in a back-and-forth about Trump’s claims that he could implement a Muslim ban or build a Mexican border wall without congressional approval.

Ryan said he wasn’t sure of the “legal question” of whether Trump could institute a Muslim ban on his own as president. (more)

“I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers”, Ryan says.  That’s rather strange, because there’s a disconnect.  When President Obama declared his November 2014 “executive action on amnesty” or DAPA, neither Paul Ryan nor any other body of congressional authority attempted to sue the president.

Prior to Donald Trump’s energetic speech in Dallas Texas, campaign policy adviser Stephen Miller outlined what’s at stake:

In the aftermath of the Orlando Terrorist Attack only one candidate, Donald Trump, has expressed moral clarity on the substantive issue.  In a speech delivered earlier this week a singular sentence stands out against all others:

[…]  America must unite the whole civilized world in the fight against Islamic terrorism, just like we did against communism in the Cold War… (more)

That sentence identifies a global vacuum.  A missing element just too uncomfortable for President Obama and liberal leaders within multiple Western nations to acknowledge.  From that sentence a clear policy is born.  A missing policy; missing leadership.

I predict that in the coming weeks/months candidate Hillary Clinton and President Obama will be forced to accept and adopt the clarity within Donald Trump’s position.  They’ll simply have to.  Because if they don’t, the voters they need will abandon them in droves.
Neither Hillary Clinton, nor President Obama are willing to admit the transparently obvious: there is a threat from Islamic Terrorism, that directly endangers the core liberal values carried by their own base constituency. (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.

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 †

Candidate Donald Trump will be holding a campaign rally today in Dallas Texas.  The venue is Gilley’s Dallas – South Side Ballroom.  The event begins at 7pm CDT / 8pm EDT:

*Note* YouTube has begun doing sketchy things with Trump videos and feeds in what appears to be a concerted effort to shut down his voice and diminish supporters.

Polling is being used and manipulated to aid the professional political apparatus in their efforts to eliminate the threat that is Donald Trump.  The sheer scope of the antagonistic efforts toward that end is remarkable.  However, Donald Trump has a strategy to cut through the smokescreen – more on that after the PPP Poll.
Public Policy Polling has released a poll of Virginia voters (full pdf below).  Everyone knows PPP leans left and they don’t try to hide their bias – that’s ok, we don’t have any issue with ideological polling so long as there is accompanying honesty.
As long as the bias is open and admitted, and as long as the methodology and cross tabs are fully disclosed, the reader can adjust their perspective accordingly – and that’s why we find PPP polls useful.
The sample within the poll is gender skewed toward polled female voters by 8%. 54/46
A traditional poll model would be 51(fem)/49(male).  Against that methodology skew the resulting poll outcome is:

Public Policy Polling surveyed 1,032 registered voters from June 13th to 15th.  The race is close and within the polls margin of error – and if you consider the gender skew, the race is essentially tied.
However, on a profoundly optimistic note – despite a constant media drum beat of negativism toward Trump – with independent Virginia voters Donald Trump does remarkably better than Hillary Clinton.
