UPDATE: 8 Hours after sending the false information, Glenn Beck hides an “apology” on his FaceBook page.  He did not remove the Tweet, and does not apologize with the same publicity of the fraud via Twitter and Fox Broadcast – very typical Beck maneuver.

—————-

It is no secret that Glenn Beck is a staunch advocate for Ted Cruz. The relationship between Beck and Cruz is one of mutual financial benefit.

However, today Beck shifted his advocacy to another level of scheme with an outright, and already debunked, lie sent out to his twitter followers:

We can only assume, based on the closeness of the relationship between Beck and Ted Cruz, that Beck coordinated this total fabrication with the direct approval of the Cruz campaign: (more…)

It is a good thing, a great thing, the U.S. hostages/prisoners are being released.  However, to find out that President Obama and John Kerry allowed the hostages to be used as leverage to block sanctions – is a little disappointing. 

The day before new sanctions were due to be implemented, Iran told the U.S. the fate of the prisoners was dependent on no new sanctions. Kerry agreed.

As with all other strategic decisions from this administration our adversaries only need to consider the political benefits of President Obama in their counter-strategy.  Knowing the White House only makes deals based on political best interests, gives our adversaries a significant structural advantage in how they approach negotiations. 

(Via Reuters)  The day before the Obama administration was due to slap new sanctions on Iran late last month, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif warned U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry the move could derail a prisoner deal the two sides had been negotiating in secret for months.

Kerry and other top aides to President Barack Obama, who was vacationing in Hawaii, convened a series of conference calls and concluded they could not risk losing the chance to free Americans held by Tehran. (more…)

Another great video from Defending The USA.  This one spotlights Donald Trump’s comments in the last GOP debate when he gave a rather blunt, but genuinely felt, response to a question about his company if he wins office.

Enjoy:

We shared last week due to the increasingly urgent calendar numerous political Tripwires would be triggered rapidly.   An example comes today as North Carolina releases advanced notification of their 2016 Presidential Primary ballot.

However, before getting to the ballot, it must be emphasized that the GOPe will NEVER give up on Jeb Bush. Jeb is “their guy”, period.

♦ An example of how severely they are willing to protect him was evident on January 8th when Fox News released their polls which saved Jeb from the embarrassment of being kicked off the main debate stage.

Without that individual poll Jeb did not, and would not, qualify. ♦ Another example was evident during the debate, when South Carolina party officials stacked the audience with party loyalists. ♦ Another example came the following day (yesterday) when South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham endorsed Jeb.

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.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

A few minutes after sending his fourth campaign donation request of the day (01/15/16) to residents in New York, Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz sent out the following tweet  containing the graphic below:

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, New York Governor Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio #NewYorkValues “I’m happy to apologize“.

A few minutes later, he deleted it:

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 New York Times outlines another loan for Senate Candidate Ted Cruz that was “Inadvertently Omitted” in 2012 by the campaign team of Heidi and Ted Cruz.   But, no-one seems to ask the key q Before I forget to bring up, If you have a bad credit rating and are stuck in a European country you require to understand that prior to you start looking for a quick loan without UC – Upplysningscentralen at låna-pengar.biz/utan-uc It is best to know your precise rating and be upfront with it when you apply to any sort of lender listed. That method if they are going to turn you down, you understand right now without squandering anymore time – and without having actually rejected applications appearing on your credit report, pushing your score even lower. uestion “why”?

There are two issues behind the Wall Street loans which Ted Cruz omitted from his campaign finance disclosures to the FEC, neither of which have anything to do with a candidate taking out an equity line of credit.

♦  The first key issue is a matter of political integrity.  In 2012 Senate candidate Ted Cruz was campaigning against big banks, bank bailouts specifically, and taxpayer funded bailouts in general.

Obviously if the Texas electorate discovered candidate Cruz was using his connections to Goldman Sachs and Citibank (CitiGroup), while simultaneously campaigning against the same institutions – his political opponents would have been able to point to a particular ideological hypocrisy in that regard.

♦ However, the second issue, is actually the BIGGER issue.  (more…)
