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 †
Perhaps many have forgotten. In 2013 a progressive group of leftists began organizing a Million Muslim march on Washington DC scheduled for September 11th 2013.
In rapid response (mostly through social media) the national assembly of motorcycle enthusiasts, various clubs, began organizing a counter demonstration; A Million Biker ride on DC scheduled for the same day.
Within days hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands, began riding from every single state in the union. At least 800,000 (counted by Viriginia LEO stationed on I-95), and up to 2 million, arrived in the DC suburbs on Sept. 9th, 10th and 11th 2013.
Without any permits the 9/11/13 bikers were denied “non-stop” entrance to the national mall; so they rode into, around and through DC in wave after wave of rolling patriotic assembly.
The media never reported on the ride, preferring to try and downplay the event. However, their assembly sent shock waves through Washington DC as the professional political class immediately noticed the scope of the backlash. The White House and the progressive movement also took notice.
The simple act of showing up sent a very loud and clear message: “There are more of us, than you”. In many ways this visibility was also the representative imagery of The Monster Vote. (more…)
Two well known democrats, Chris Wallace and Adam Schiff, argue over the possible ramifications of the latest Office of Inspector General (OIG) report. Wallace is concerned, Shiff is dismissive – they haz row on TV:
Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski appeared on Fox News Sunday today to discuss the Trump campaign strategy moving forward:
Candidate Donald Trump is anticipated to deliver remarks in Washington DC at the Rolling Thunder event sometime around 10:00am to 12:00pm EDT. All timing is approximate as the scheduling is fluid.
However, there are some Live Stream links which will attempt to cover the event:

Oh my. A recent Clout Research poll from the State of Oregon (full pdf below), not exactly well known as a bastion of all things republican, shows candidate Donald Trump beating Hillary Clinton 44 to 42%.
However, with Independent Voters, Donald Trump is CRUSHING Hillary Clinton by 27 points 53% to 26%. The Monster Vote effect:
In addition to the 27 point lead with independent voters, Donald Trump also has a 13 point advantage with male voters – and the deficit with female voters is only 9 points.
Oh dear. More media narratives fizzling like cheap bottle rockets…. *pop*

When political opinion holders discuss the disconnect between the outlook of House Speaker Paul Ryan vs the perspectives of republican presidential nominee Donald Trump the emphasis is often on the wrong ideological syllable. Here’s the consideration as viewed through our rather lengthy historical research.
At the very core of the legislative bodies within the House of Representatives and the Senate a person must first focus their own perspective and ask themselves: “what does a representative legislative body mean to me“?
If you answer that question with a form of opinion “the federal politician should represent the will of his/her constituency“, you are holding a traditional federalist type outlook and expectation.
However, in modern political reality -with the increased legislative influences of corporate interests superseding the will of the electorate- a person must accept the legislative outcomes are no longer based on the ‘will of the electorate’.
An intellectually honest person only needs to look as far as the statements from Jonathan Gruber, ObamaCare architect, to understand the legislative objectives are now carried forth on a principle of ‘we know better‘. Indeed, when Obamacare was created a full 70% of the electorate did not want it, yet congress were determined to create it. (more…)
