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 †

…”Meet at The Old Mill, We Ride at Midnight”

After many months of professional political class “gaslighting” Americans, the patriots in  Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Alaska, Colorado, Minnesota, and Wyoming  now engage their moment to have their voices heard. 

A visible and quantifiable moment to rise, unite, join with us and and state their collective refusal to be co-dependents in our national demise….

We Remember – December 23rd 2009 when Majority Leader Harry Reid passed a version of Obamacare through forced vote at 1:30am. The Senators could not leave, and for the two weeks previous were kept in a prolonged legislative session barred returning to their home-state constituencies. It was, by all measures and reality, a vicious display of forced ideological manipulation of the upper chamber; shared again as a constant reminder for what set the stage, and what followed. (more…)

A couple of historical reference points are needed to appropriately present the Boston Herald Radio report.

♦ First, remember the intensity in December 2009/January 2010 for “The People’s Seat“, when blocking ObamaCare was a desperate challenge.   We have met these people, they are incredibly sharp, keen, and know how to rise quickly and take action.

There is a strain of “common sense conservatism” amid a significant portion of the Bay State electorate that rises to action in the face of urgent and consequential need.  Massachusetts has proven they are incredibly apt at rapid response when needed.  After engaging with them for two months in Dec/Jan ’10, I personally gained an intense respect for a VERY intelligent, yet quietly invisible, segment of the Massachusetts electorate.

♦ Second, remember how the national media was shocked, SHOCKED, that Donald Trump drew in over 15,000 people to a rally in Lowell Massachusetts.  The MSM just couldn’t conceptualize it, but it took place nonetheless.  The Washington Post called it “mind-boggling”.  “The high temperature was 29 degrees yesterday, and the Trump rally was at night”…

Those attendees are EXACTLY the people we met and engaged with in 2009/2010.  Brilliantly patriotic and intensely politically savvy – Any team in America would want that electorate on their team.  (more…)

A new CNN/ORC national poll (full pdf below) is being highlighted in the media discussion based on the top-line results: Donald Trump 49% ! 

However, that’s not the real headline in the data.  The real lead story should be the damage Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have done to themselves as they continue a scorched-earth campaign.

The first signals of a backlash appeared over the weekend’s polling when it became clear Senator Rubio and Senator Cruz where losing support at an exponential rate the longer they continued to make unfounded accusations.   Donald Trump and Ben Carson are benefactors of the Rubio/Cruz kamikaze mission:

There’s an increased possibility Cruz may lose Texas if enough Trump supporters can turn out in any similar proportion to previous state turnouts.  Ted Cruz entire campaign apparatus has fallen back upon Texas, and his latest rally (today) drew only a few hundred supporters.

It is increasingly improbable to project Ted Cruz as the likely winner of Texas when all other Super-Tuesday polling, and national polling, shows an entirely divergent reality.
