When candidate Donald Trump announced his candidacy to run for President last year we knew immediately there would be a seismic shift in the political landscape.  Those who have followed politics in the last 8+ years suspected the 2016 race would inevitably boil down to Globalists -vs- U.S. Nationalists.

However, with the introduction of Mark Levin’s Conservative Review publishing a target list of those they don’t agree with, we have officially entered the realm of the absurd.  The collective ‘conservative‘ ilk within the punditry class have assembled their fascist blacklist(s) to target their opposition – and it’s not leftists, it’s us.

I doubt there has ever been a time when we have laughed so heartedly.

Too many years decades of Wall Street’s influence over legislative priorities are clearly evident for anyone not to anticipate the professional political class would view any America-First candidate as a threat to their financial motivations.  But to see the apoplectic reactions from those within the corporate conservative media is, well, pure delicious sunlight.

(Via ABC News) In a statement following meetings with Cuban President Raúl Castro in Havana today, President Barack Obama declared it a “new day” in U.S.-Cuban relations.

“For more than half a century, the sight of a U.S. president here in Havana would have been unimaginable. But this is a new day. Es una nueva dia,” Obama said in remarks to reporters at the presidential palace in Cuba.

While celebrating the progress in the relationship, Obama also said that the two countries continue to have important differences and that the U.S. will continue to speak out on the issue of human rights and democracy. (more…)

Candidate Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a media availability press conference at The Old Post Office, soon to be Trump International Hotel, in Washington, DC.

Amidst the public split within the GOP over Trump’s campaign, Mr. Trump will reportedly attend a meeting of Republicans, including perhaps some members of Congress, at the Jones Day law firm.

That’s slated to be followed by a press availability at his Trump International Hotel project and his day will wrap up with remarks at AIPAC, where his fellow Republican rivals will also be taking their turns on the stage. The event is scheduled to begin at 2:15pm EDT:

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.

ARIZONA VOTES MARCH 22nd

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 †

This isn’t the first time Glenn Beck has said his blessed candidate was the representative image and embodiment of his lord and savior who has arrived to save the world.   Beck also isn’t the only one who believes it.  Ted’s father has said something similar when he proclaimed “Ted was anointed to take control of society“.

Previously Glenn Beck proclaimed that God killed Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia to insure Ted Cruz wins the republican nomination.  Today Beck proclaimed the “end of days”, and Senator Cruz as the prophecy fulfilled.

A reasonable person has to wonder how this prophetic sales pitch is supposed to help beyond a very narrow segment of the religious electorate:

UTAH – […] Beck said that he, like many Mormons, believes in a prophecy that the Constitution will hang by a thread in the last days. He said he believes that now is that time, and people like Lee and Cruz will save it.

He also said the Book of Mormon was created as a guide on how to protect freedom in our day. At the Provo rally, many responded yelling, “I believe, I believe.”  (read more) [video available here] 

Beck appears to be describing the Mormon belief in a White Horse prophecy

Bill Still has put together an optimistic presentation to highlight some of the more recent discussions within the underground rebel alliance:

In October 2015 the DOJ announced it was dropping the investigation into the IRS, Lois Lerner, and the unlawful sharing of taxpayer data in the IRS targeting investigation surrounding True The Vote et al.

As a direct consequence of the DOJ decision, congressional inquiry into the IRS targeting matter seemingly dropped from the radar.

However, if you draw a line from the original intent of the entire enterprise, the post-2010 mid-term “shellacking”/”secret research project“, forward to the 2016 election cycle an interested observer might still be left asking:

“why did the IRS, through Lois Lerner, deliver the 1+ million pages of tax filings, to include the entire donor list of Tea Party and patriot groups, through 21 CD-ROMs and not by electronic data transfer.  Information that was specifically sent to Eric Holder and the U.S. Department of Justice”?

This is an obvious question which, despite the numerous congressional hearings on the matter, was never asked – nor answered.

The entire scheme is riddled with complexity; almost too complex for the average person to understand, and seriously difficult to summarize.  However, when you boil it down here’s the essential components that are no longer suspicion or supposition, but factually provable: (more…)

In physics the “Theory of Everything” is a hypothetical single, all-encompassing, coherent theoretical framework of physics that fully explains and links together all physical aspects of the universe.  As a metaphor for current political questions, particularly those surrounding Senator Ted Cruz, a similar precept exists.

There is a comment on one of the Cruz research threads which explains almost all the irreconcilables of Senator Ted Cruz behavior.

Now, the value in any given, albeit normally innocuous, comment can be easily overlooked.  However, this comment actually stands up against all methods of deconstruction.

Our archive holds hundreds, if not tens of hundreds, of individual empirical data points of research into Ted Cruz’s action, behavior and specific instances of activity (2010-2016) which, if a comment explaining his motive is going to be considered inherently plausible, would need to be reconciled.

As stunning as it seems, this comment does exactly that: (more…)

Brandon Meets The Moonbats

A gentleman named Brandom Tatum posted a video on Facebook describing his visit to a Donald Trump rally in Tucson Arizona.  As he describes it was an eye-opening event for him, as he discovers the protesters are not “protesters”, but rather hate-filled, violent and nasty antagonists trying provoke confrontation.

In short, he met/discovered the ideological left-wing of politics.

Mr. Tatum also describes himself as a police officer by profession who was shocked to discover the “Black Lives Matter” movement is actually filled with violent thugs and extremely hateful anti-American activists. Go figure.
