Friday April 1st – Open Discussion

Tomb of the UnknownOur 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 †

Ted Cruz Flip-Flops Now Says He Supports "Fair Trade"…

According to an article today in candidate Cruz’s official Super-PAC funded (Via Robert Mercer) media outlet, Breitbart.Com, Senator Ted Cruz now says he doesn’t support the current U.S. Trade Policy and has fully adopted the position of candidate Donald Trump in calling for “Fair Trade’.
Except he’s lying.
Again.
cruz McConnellSenator Cruz previously said the reason he gave up support for Trans-Pacific Trade deal TPP, and voted against his own legislative vehicle (TPA),  was because Mitch McConnell lied to him.
However, no-one seems to know enough about the legislative construct to actually challenge Cruz on his absurd claim.
Senate Leader Mitch McConnell promised several democrats in the senate he would include re-authorization of the Import/Export bank (December 2015 Omnibus) in exchange for support on the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (TPA)  (June ’15).
This is the McConnell LIE Senator Cruz speaks of when he justifies changing his TPA vote at the last minute from Yea, to Nay.
Candidate Cruz is never challenged on that ridiculous reasoning. The Import/Export Bank re-authorization had absolutely nothing to do with TPP or TPA. It was purely a cover excuse. (more…)

Fox Business News has just released a new poll (full pdf below) with stunning results.

Incredibly, despite the full support of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker; and despite the support of Speaker of the House Paul Ryan; and despite the non-stop campaigning of 2012 Presidential candidate Mitt Romney; and despite the support of the largest Wisconsin radio talk show voice, Charlie Sykes; and despite the endorsement of Governor Jeb Bush; and despite over $100 million Wall Street dollars being spent in negative attack ads against his opponent…

…. A full 58% of Wisconsin Voters still refuse to support Senator Ted Cruz:

These results are jaw-dropping for Ted Cruz when you consider:

  • Every single media outlet in the nation has been in a full throated tear down against his opponent 24/7 for weeks.
  • The entire professional political apparatus within Washington DC is now directly supporting candidate Cruz.  Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush, John McCain, Orin Hatch, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Carly Fiorina have all endorsed and spoken on behalf of Ted Cruz.

Six People Shot During Attack on Police In Virginia – One State Trooper Dead…

The MSM went into immediate obfuscation mode on this event hours ago.  Virginia State Troopers were conducting a training exercise at a Greyhound Bus Station when a shooter opened fire upon them.
The media is currently making it seem like a random shooting at a bus station – that is NOT the case.  This has all the earmarks of a pre-planned assassination attempt.  Six people shot, one trooper killed:

How Can One Vote Change The Course of History – Here's A Recent Example Few Comprehend…

The current U.S. Presidential Race, combined with House Speaker Paul Ryan at the helm of the DC legislature, provides an opportunity to highlight just how close passage of Amnesty law was in 2014.

A passage that would have fundamentally, and irreversibly, changed the landscape of the U.S.A forever.

The senate “Gang of Eight” comprehensive immigration reform bill, which included amnesty legislation was not blocked by Senator Ted Cruz or Senator Marco Rubio – it specifically passed the senate because of them, not despite them.
A very insightful PBS documentary “The Immigration Battle” lays out exactly what took place during the 2013/2014 legislative time frame. If you have not watched the documentary I would strongly recommend you do so, it is profoundly enlightening. (more…)
