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 †

The entire U.S. corrupt political apparatus relies on an electorate with a short-term memory and unwillingness to research source material to discover their motives.
The Ted Cruz Super-PAC “Trusted Leadership” became the primary financial vehicle for contributions to Senator Ted Cruz.  The Cruz financial structure became somewhat controversial because Cruz campaign officials were caught on tape instructing high dollar donors to skip campaign finance limits by sending large dollar donations to Trusted Leadership.

Now Consider This:

• Tuesday April 5th 2016 – Wisconsin Presidential Primary (Cruz Wins)
• Friday April 22nd 2016 – Ted Cruz Super PAC “Trusted Leadership” pays National Right To Life PAC $125,000

National Rifle Association leadership called for unity around Donald Trump today following a contentious primary race.
(Via ABC News) The National Rifle Association has endorsed Donald Trump for president at today’s convention. Chris Cox, the executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, made the endorsement immediately before Trump walked on stage.
“Now is the time to unite. If your preferred candidate dropped out of the race, it’s time to get over it,” Cox said earlier in his remarks.
The news of the endorsement came shortly before Trump addressed the group at their convention in Kentucky. Trump talked about “crooked Hillary” and said that Clinton is “anti-gun,” claiming that she plans to take away guns if she is elected. He also spoke about how situations like the mass shooting in San Bernardino could be avoided if more people had guns. (more…)
