Polls Close in South Carolina at 7:00pm.  Sometime around 5:00pm most media will begin reporting “preliminary exit poll” information.   However, it is important for South Carolinians to IGNORE ALL EXIT POLLING INFORMATION. The media are notorious for using “exit polls” to influence the last few hours of voting.

POLLS CLOSED !

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.

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 †

After many months of professional political punditry “gaslighting” Americans, the patriots in South Carolina enter their moment to have their voices heard.  A visible and quantifiable moment to clearly state our 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 as a reminder for what set the stage, and what followed.

Riddled with anxiety we watched the Machiavellian manipulations unfold, seemingly unable to stop the visible usurpation. Desperate for a tool to stop the construct in December 2009 we found Scott Brown and rallied to deliver $7 million in funding, and a “Kennedy Seat” victory on January 19th 2010. (more…)

To understand how much backlash the Vatican has received in Italy and the larger EU, we only need to look at how far back they are pulling the words.  Quite remarkable headline text below via U.K Daily Mail: 

(Via Daily Mail)  The Vatican today executed a speedy climb-down in its feud with Donald Trump – handing the Republican White House hopeful a major political victory. (more…)
