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 †
Paul Manafort absolutely nails this interview with left-wing pearl clutcher Chuck Todd.
After the Orlando terrorist attack Hillary Clinton went into a modified sub surface communication status called “radio infrequent”. Tenuous times require those who communicate via poll-tested and political wind-driven soundbites to move carefully amid unfamiliar terrain.
Now, as predicted, after the “anti-globalist” Brexit result, Hillary Clinton goes further into the status of “radio-silent”. Full Stop (stay quiet, stay deep), and stay away from visibility until the consultants can gauge the best course. Status = Deep Sweat, Anxious.
The professional media political class, who are still trying to come to grips with the ramifications of a stunning geopolitical push back, are also in a reassessment mode. The polling releases today from Washington Post/ABC and from Wall Street Journal/NBC also highlight their modified deep-pause position.

Before you get angry at Mitch McConnell refusing to say if Donald Trump is qualified to be President of the United States, I would suggest you to go back through the CTH archives to the period before Kentucky’s primary race (between Matt Bevin and Mitch McConnell on May 20th, 2014) and see how this was not only expected, but structurally predicted.
Unfortunately in the fall of 2013 and spring of 2014 few people were paying attention because the various political events were not in the headlines. However, it was in this period (Oct ’13 to June ’14) when all the UniParty political relationships were taking action toward a very specific united goal. Mitch McConnell was/is a key player.
The closing speech was good by itself; however, when you add a dramatic Independence Day soundtrack to the speech, it gets, well,… you decide:
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

There is a considerable amount of media banter about a petition being submitted to the U.K. Parliament requesting a second EU Referendum. –SEE HERE–
The petition is being pushed by disgruntled left-wing activists who voted to “REMAIN” in the European Union and lost the original referendum by over 1.3 million votes to the larger majority who wanted to LEAVE.
However, enterprising internet researchers have discovered most of the actual signatures for the second referendum are from people who do not live in the United Kingdom.
When the petition reached 1,194,001 signatures, 840,013 (70%) of those signatures were from outside the United Kingdom – SEE HERE – . And only 353,988 (30%) were actually valid signatures (ip addys) within the UK.

At this point, if you are on the team still trying to convince anyone that this entire assembly of our union is headed in the right direction, well, you might want to revisit your proximity to the 2016 election ballpark. Because you’re probably not just out of the city – but you’re also out of the same state the election ballpark is located in…..
There’s a level of anger far deeper and more consequential than expressed rage or visible behavior, it’s called Cold Anger.
Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. For those who carry it, no conversation is needed when we meet. You cannot poll or measure it; specifically most who carry it avoid discussion. And that decision has nothing whatsoever to do with any form of correctness.
We watched the passage of Obamacare at 1:38am on the day before Christmas Eve in 2009. We watched the Senate, then the House attempt passing Amnesty in 2014. We’ve watched the $900 billion Stimulus Bill being spent each year, every year, for seven consecutive years. Omnibus, Porkulous, QE1, QE2, Bailouts, Crony-Capitalism.
Cold Anger absorbs betrayal silently, often prudently.
We’ve waited each year, every year, for eight years, to see a federal budget, only to be given another $2 trillion Omnibus spending bill by Speaker Ryan. We’ve watched the ridiculing of cops, the riots, and the lack of support for laws, or their enforcement. We’ve been absorbing.
Cold Anger is not hatred, it is far more purposeful.
Cold Anger takes notice of the liars, even from a great distance – seemingly invisible to the mob. Cold Anger will still hold open the door for the riot goer. Mannerly. We’ve watched our borders being intentionally unsecured. We’ve watched Islamic Terrorists slaughter Americans as our politicians proclaim their uncertainty of motive.
Cold Anger when evidenced is more severe because it is more strategic. Eric Cantor, the Brexit and Donald Trump might aide your understanding.
