Tomb of the Unknown ChristmasOur 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 †

Trump’s Campaign Highlights The Hypocrisy of the GOPe “Growth and Opportunity Project”, The GOP Autopsy…

A recent article in U.S. News and World Report highlights a profound republican party irony and simultaneous hypocrisy.

On the heels of a devastating defeat of John McCain 2008, and immediately following the disastrous defeat of Mitt Romney in 2012, the power-structures within the Republican party decided to do a complete “GOP Autopsy” and figure out what they could do to start winning presidential elections again. They called it “The Growth and Opportunity Project”.

The officials (co-chairs) in charge of conducting the autopsy were: Ari Fleischer, a former press secretary to President George W. Bush; Henry Barbour, an RNC member from Mississippi; Zori Fonalledas, an RNC member from Puerto Rico; Glenn McCall, an RNC member from South Carolina; and Sally Bradshaw, a political strategist from Florida.

The Real Donald Trump (Video)…

The narrative is Donald Trump’s introduction from Crippled America (audio book version):

Video Production by Defending The USA a Trump supporter and brilliant patriot.

Stuart Varney Hosts Lynnette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson – The Salty Girls…

Oh Boy, this is splendid. We spotted these brilliant patriots six months ago and said immediately these ladies will make an impact. Unfortunately, the left-wing immediately noticed the risk Diamond and Silk bring to tear down the narrative – and a month after we began highlighting them MSNBC went on the attack.

They persevered, expanded their infectiously joyful influence and Stuart Varney met them Friday. Must watch video:

Immigration, The GOPe, and Chamber of Commerce Backed Candidates….

Since 2013 we have specifically documented the legislative agenda of Tom Donohue, Wall Street, and their lobbying arm the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.  The CoC legislative agenda includes:

  • Passage of the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal
  • Retention of ObamaCare – Without repeal or modification
  • Implementation of Federal Common Core Education Standards
  • Comprehensive Immigration Reform to include Amnesty

trump and sessionsAll of the presidential candidates actively support this chamber agenda (some more openly than others), which is also supported by Club4Growth, Koch Brothers, Robert Mercer, and Wall Street.

ALL of the GOP Presidential candidates have taken tens of millions in lobbyist money to assist their campaigns.

All, except Donald J Trump.

Julia Hahn […]  Conservative populist thought-leader Jeff Sessions has explained that supporting amnesty and citizenship for illegal immigrants should be inherently disqualifying for any GOP nominee. Sessions said previously, “Supporting citizenship for illegal immigrants should be disqualifying.

Spiteful Virginia GOPe Target Dave Brat for Retaliation…

Almost everyone is familiar with the most devastating loss for the Professional Political Establishment in the 2014 election cycle, the primary defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor by insurgent patriot Dave Brat.

Fewer people recognize how devastating the loss was for the globalist DC elites who were less than two days away from approving the Gang-of-Eight Amnesty Bill known as “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”.

Boehner - Cantor- McCarthy - House-GOP-leaders-Dave Brat

With the vote count “whipped”, and with enough House votes to pass identified, Speaker John Boehner was set to hold the vote on Thursday June 12th 2014.  Cantor was defeated (primaried) Tuesday June 10th, and the “whip count” disappeared almost immediately.

The GOPe vowed to retaliate against Brat.  Last week they began to make their moves:

Mark Steyn Attends Trump Rally – “Notes On A Phenomenon”…

Mark Steyn recently attended a Donald Trump rally in Vermont, and writes about it brilliantly.

Mark_Steyn_after_dismissaltrump hats etc 2

[…]  I think it would help if every member of the pundit class had to attend a Trump rally before cranking out the usual shtick about how he’s tapping into what Jeb called “angst and anger”. Yes, Trump supporters are indignant (and right to be) about the bipartisan cartel’s erasure of the southern border and their preference for unskilled Third World labor over their own citizenry, but “anger” is not the defining quality of a Trump night out. The candidate is clearly having the time of his life, and that’s infectious, which is why his supporters are having a good time, too. Had Mitt campaigned like this, he’d be president. But he had no ability to connect with voters. Nor does Jeb (“I’ve been endorsed by another 27 has-beens”) Bush.
