In an opportunity for a compare and contrast, both Donald Trump and Jeb Bush have events scheduled today. Trump in Council Bluffs Iowa, Jeb Bush in Peterborough New Hampshire.
Jeb Bush holding a “Town Hall”, while Donald Trump holds a campaign “rally”. Both candidates holding events at almost the same time.
However, Jeb Bush cancels his Town Hall due to “inclement weather”. Donald Trump keeps campaigning. HatTip to KBR for this picture of what greets Bush supporters tonight: (more…)
It seems like such a long time ago, in the spring of 2014, when we first identified the fingerprints of the GOPe road map which eventually led to the GOPe “Splitter Strategy“. However, one variable remains as critical today as it was almost two years ago, FLORIDA.
Back in 2014 the most important tripwire we set, was to watch what the GOPe in Florida did with their delegates. Our hunch was the national RNC power-structure would coordinate with the state-level republican party and present a mid-March “winner-take-all” delegate distribution to benefit the low-polling, low-turnout, low-vote goal of Jeb Bush.
Florida would thereby be the Fulcrum for the Jeb Bush road-map. If Team Jeb could fracture the non-Jeb vote enough, the approximately 20% pro-Jeb vote would be all that was needed to capture the full 99 delegates. The road map then picks up speed and it’s all downhill to the convention for Jeb’s anointment. (more…)
A poll conducted by Clout Research for World Net Daily (full pdf below) shows candidate Donald Trump with a commanding lead amid all major demographics. The poll also contains a small sample of Democrats (19), Independents (61), as well as Republican (365) voters.
It should be noted that generally speaking, when considering content coverage, WND has a favorable lean toward Senator Ted Cruz. The result below is from the Republican respondents:
A review of the poll internals show Donald Trump leading with all religious affiliations. In addition Trump leads all ideologies except “strongly conservative” (far right) which favor Ted Cruz. Hence, more statistical affirmation of what most already accept: Donald Trump, like Ronald Reagan, is a center-right candidate.
By now almost everyone has acknowledged that Donald Trump has ripped the masks from most of the modern professional punditry who espoused to be conservatives yet showed their hidden ideological colors as elite globalists.
Most notably this was evidenced in June as millions of Fox News viewers saw FOX’s entire line-up of professional pundits proclaim borders shouldn’t matter; border walls won’t work; illegal alien amnesty was the only viable solution to decades of unenforced immigration law; and, heck, this was only in week #1 of Donald Trump’s campaign.
Since June ’15, on almost every issue those same pundits have now openly aligned themselves with GOPe agenda items like global trade, tax policy, big government spending, and advocacy to including advancement of Speaker Paul ‘Omnibus’ Ryan.
However, a sharp reader, DrudgeAddict, smartly points out these same voices were the exact group who gathered together in an exclusive meeting with President Obama in 2009 to sing his praises after the ’08 election. Including : (more…)

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 wife of one of the Bataclan Theater terrorists is 18-years-old and apparently lives in Iraq. From the article below she knew the Paris attack was going to take place and rejoiced via email in the success. Interestingly, it appears Mrs. Samy Amimour points to police as identified targets for the ongoing terror attacks…
(Via TheLocalFr) Investigators have uncovered shocking messages sent by the wife of one of the Paris shooters, in which she boasts of her “great life” in Iraq and says she is “proud” of her husband.
The wife of one of the Bataclan terrorists said she was “proud” and “happy” of his involvement in the November 13th bombings, emails published in French daily Le Parisien reveal.
Samy Amimour, aged 28, was one of the three shooters who killed 90 people at the Bataclan. Three days after the massacre, his wife, named as Kahina, emailed an old friend in France saying: “Did the attacks shock you? LOL,” before boasting that her husband had been one of the assailants. (more…)
A recent Rasmussen poll (unfortunately, private data) shows Hillary Clinton 37% and Donald Trump 36% in a statistical dead heat. However, if you look at the actual data as presented by Rasmussen you find:
[…] Seventy-five percent (75%) of Democrats back Clinton, up five points from October. Trump draws support from 63% of Republicans, virtually unchanged from the previous survey. Unaffiliated voters prefer Trump 36% to 25%, but 29% of these voters like some other candidate. These findings also are similar to the October survey. (link)
If Trump is tied with Hillary and yet only 63% of identified Republicans support Trump this means a larger portion of Republicans are “non-Trump”, than Democrats who are “non-Hillary”. Here’s the math as presented which shows how centrist and dominant Donald Trump’s appeal is. (more…)
