Yesterday Walid Shoebat made a very strong case outlining a possible cause for the crash around an Islamist attack directly carried out by the pilot of the Egypt Air flight 804.

More evidence is arising to show that the pilot of Flight 804 went suicide. He did some bizarre things. He converted the plane into a makeshift mosque, used the equipment to tell passengers the direction of Mecca. Had a last supper and said “farewell” as if ‘we who are about to die salute you’. He called his brother before take-off telling him to ‘pray for him’ as he was going for martyrdom. He had connections with one of the most radical preachers and terror supporters in Egypt. (link)

Shoebat then lays out the facts leading to his outlined conclusion. What he outlines is a very disturbing possibility.  I strongly suggest everyone consider his outline.

Some other evidence surfaces today which aligns with the Shoebat thesis. The Daily Mail is now reporting the pilot actually spoke to air traffic controllers about a fire and smoke and his intent to take urgent action to attempt a crash landing: (more…)

A Segment was available yesterday, but today we get the full Jake Tapper interview with Bernie Sanders on CNN where Bernie states his support for Debbie Wasserman-Schultz primary opponent her removal from DNC.

There’s a whole lot of good news and ‘splodey head angst in the latest ABC/Washington Post national poll (full pdf below). The poll sample size of 1005 includes a mix of 33% Democrat, 27% Republican and 35% Independent. Democrats over sampled by eight points, (D+8).
However, even with the sample skew (D+8) Donald Trump still beats Hillary Clinton 46% to 44%, and Trump is crushing Clinton with Independent voters 48% to 35%.

In addition to the overwhelming 13 point polling lead among independent voters, the same poll shows that 20% of Bernie Sanders supporters will vote for Donald Trump.
Also, very optimistically presented in the poll data is the exact percentage of Mitt Romney Voters (Never Trumpers) we predicted back in March that would defect to Team Clinton, 6%.   Conversely, when the race switches from the primary to the General Election 8% of Clinton primary voters will vote Trump.

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 †

Candidate Donald Trump recorded a video that was played at the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference:

Hillary Clinton speaking at a Trayvon Martin Foundation event is an analogy wrapped up in a proverbial metaphor…. Everything about the foundation, Sybrina Fulton and Hillary Clinton is based on fraud.  ALL OF IT.

I was once asked how much time I personally spent in research of the Trayvon Martin shooting from April 2012 to July 2013. My best guess answer was 4,000 hours.
If you were to combine the efforts of approximately 100-500 CTH researchers during the same period you can amplify that number exponentially beyond a half million hours.  Yeah, we have some familiarity with this entire story.
I’ve been to Miami Gardens at least 5 times; I’ve interviewed dozens of Krop Senior High school students; I’ve talked to dozens of Miami Dade police officers, Miami-Dade School Police Officers, detectives, resource officers, teachers, school administration officials and school board members.   (more…)

According to the MSM the “motive” remains a mystery…
NORMAN, Okla. — An Oklahoma judge on Friday put off deciding whether to accept a man’s request to plead guilty to first-degree murder in the beheading of a co-worker, as a death sentence would still be possible.

Alton Nolen reiterated his desire to plead guilty and die by lethal injection after Cleveland County District Judge Lori Walkley asked a series of questions to assess whether he understood the charges stemming from the September 2014 attack at the Vaughn Foods plant in the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore.

Most of these reports should be filtered through the prism of a desired political narrative. President Obama’s civilian pentagon officials quickly announcing a “drone strike”, “inside Pakistan” that may have killed a high-profile Taliban leader.
Why does the administration need to specifically tell the world the details?  Why put Pakistan in a position of retaliation from al-Qaeda with notification of a cross border drone strike?

Perhaps these continual and overly public releases of information are an outcome of a U.S. President being forced to act by the U.S. military.  The White House not wanting to engage, puts intensely stringent rules in place to insure the continued life of the enemy.
The military follows those rules and puts the enemy directly on a tee. Obama is reluctantly forced to approve the strike lest he be clearly outlined as supporting the enemy.  With no option Obama approves the strike, but then exposes every element of the attack he can, through his civilian surrogates, in order to create a hostile consequence that will diminish any possible future occurrence.

Last month they lost their beer and toilet paper; this month they lose their soda… Meanwhile, back in the U.S.A, Sanders and Clinton campaign for same economic policies.
CARACAS, Venezuela – Coca-Cola is halting production in Venezuela of its namesake beverage due to a sugar shortage brought on by the country’s grinding economic crisis.
The Atlanta-based company said in an emailed statement Friday said that its production of sugar-sweetened beverages will be suspended in the coming days after local suppliers reported they had run out of the raw material. Sugar-free beverages are not affected and the company said its offices and distribution centers remain open in Venezuela.
The move comes as Venezuela’s economy is teetering on the edge of collapse with widespread food shortages and inflation forecast to surpass 700 percent. Last month, Empresas Polar, Venezuela’s largest food and beverage company, stopped production of beer because of a lack of imported barley. (read more)
