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.

The Three Amigos Congratulate Each Other on Their Elite Magnanimity.

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…)

When you think about “Trade Deals” – even the phrase elicits a myriad of opinions that causes the intellectual class to immediately drag the conversation into the esoteric weeds.
So allow me to give you an example of modern trade discussion using something many will be familiar with: Fig Newtons.  Specifically, Nabisco brand Fig Newtons.
How do you make a Fig Newton? Who is involved in the process of making a Fig Newton? And how does that chewy snack reach your market?  Understand that process and you understand the fundamental flaw in 2016 Trade deals.  Fig Newtons also highlight how to destroy the middle class.
There are three general aspects, and three groups responsible, to making a Fig Newton available to you.  The supply chain is known as “field to fork”, but any manufactured product can be viewed in the same three general ways:

• The Farmer – (no collar) who produces the raw material
• The Processor – (blue collar) who turns the raw material into a packaged good
• The Consumer  – (white collar) the company (Nabisco) sells the finished good to a retailer (Market) who in turn sell the product to you, the consumer.

So let’s give the Fig Newton supply chain a face: (more…)

Oh what could go wrong.  A high risk al-qaeda terrorist, appropriately named “Jihad”, who was so dangerous even Qatar wouldn’t take him, was released by President Obama in December of 2014 to the country of Uruguay.  He was last spotted attempting to cross into Brazil, now they can’t find him.   Perhaps he’s just in Rio for the decapathon.
(Via Judicial Watch) With the summer Olympics just a few weeks away in Brazil, a veteran Al Qaeda operative released from Guantanamo to Uruguay has gone missing and authorities in Latin America believe he sneaked into Brazil after being denied legal entry.
The Islamic terrorist’s name is Jihad Ahmad Diyab an in late 2014 President Obama sent him to Uruguay along with five fellow Gitmo inmates as part of a misguided plan to shut down the U.S. military prison at the Naval base in southeast Cuba.
Now officials from Uruguay, Brazil and the United States are scrambling to find Diyab, according to news reports in Uruguay that quote high-level government officials.

A public interest law professor from George Washinton University Law School, John F. Banzhaf III, has filed bar complaint (full pdf below) against Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby.
In the complaint Banzhaf calls Mosby a “runaway prosecutor” who has violated ethics rules governing the conduct of attorneys in Maryland at almost every turn in the case — from the moment she announced the charges against the officers in May 2015 to this week, when her office signaled it would continue pursuing its case against the officers still facing charges despite the full acquittal of two other officers in the last two months.

The key point from the latest Quinnipiac University Poll (full pdf below) is not so much the result of a statistical neck-and-neck race, but rather how the release proves the prior media polls are transparently biased and constructed to benefit Hillary Clinton.

As we have shared previously, media polls are useless in this election for genuine comparative purposes.  There has not been a single Trump / Clinton media poll in the past month that has not been (transparently) an agenda poll.
The Quinnipiac poll methodology (available here) shows it was conducted from  June 21 to June 27,  and used 1,610 registered voters.  Quinnipiac puts out a fully detailed methodology and accepts the MOE (margin of error) is weighted to favor Hillary Clinton due to the increasing reliance on cell phone contacts.
