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 †

At a campaign rally in New Hampshire the Clinton-adoring-media stood aghast as a town hall participant “heckled” Hillary for being a hypocrite when it comes to women’s issues, women’s safety and specifically Bill Clinton’s history of pathological sexual assault.

When confronted surprisingly Hillary went full-Clinton almost immediately; she quickly dropped her political mask and snapped back: “you are very rude and I will never call on you” (video below):

The questioner is a rape survivor.  She is also a former Democrat, now Republican, state representative who left the Democrat party specifically because of the hypocrisy within the Clinton-era as it pertains to sexual assault and women’s safety. (more…)

We try not to underestimate Donald Trump any longer.  In the beginning of this campaign we thought no candidate could thoroughly comprehend the tentacles of the Machiavellian schemes as well those who research these endeavors 24/7/365.

However, we are continually amazed at how The Donald not only understands the constructs, but has an insight to fire subtle shots in their direction that only those who are immersed in politics can see.   Not trying to give him too much credit, but damn, the man represents the smartest republican political strategist in our lifetime – and he’s also the flippin’ candidate.

Yesterday in Mississippi Donald Trump showed another of those intensely sharp insights.

It’s subtle, but when you are in the wave-length of understanding, it’s subtle like a brick through a window.

Donald Trump had a massive crowd of more than 20,000 supporters show up last night;  and most of the national legacy political punditry missed the back story of what makes this campaign rally so significant.   (more…)

Many people will awaken today to the news of approximately 100 to 150 armed militia taking control of a closed Wildlife Park Headquarters, and not know the full back-story – so here it is:

The short summary is:  in an effort to draw attention to a ridiculous arrest of a father and son pair of Oregon Ranchers (“Dwight Lincoln Hammond, Jr., 73, and his son, Steven Dwight Hammond, 46,) who are scheduled to begin five year prison sentences (turning themselves in tomorrow January 4th 2016), three brothers from the Cliven Bundy family and approximately 100/150 (and growing) armed militia (former U.S. service members) have taken control of Malheur Wildlife Refuge Headquarters in the wildlife reserve.  They are prepared to stay there indefinitely.

Here’s the long version: including history, details, links, video(s) and explanations:
