It would appear the cleric doth protest too much.  December 3rd interview with NBC is available here for reference.  Looking into this entire construct it definitely seems like there’s far, far, more just under the surface.  If only….

(Via New York Post ) The cleric acting as spokesman for the San Bernardino mosque where terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook worshipped claims he barely knew Farook and didn’t know his terrorist wife at all. But phone records and other evidence uncovered by federal investigators cast suspicion on his story.

The FBI has questioned the cleric, Roshan Zamir Abbassi, about his phone communications with Farook — including a flurry of at least 38 messages over a two-week span in June, coinciding with the deadly Muslim terrorist attack on two military sites in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Abbassi, a Pakistani, insists he had nothing to do with the shooting at a San Bernardino County government building five miles from the mosque. While he confirms the text messages with Farook, he claims they were merely discussing food donations for his Dar-al-Uloom al-Islamiya of America mosque. (more…)

On the very first day that Donald Trump announced his candidacy we repeated and shared a speech that was three years old.  The messenger, Bill Whittle, is himself a brilliant vulgarian, and the message was exactly right as it was recorded in 2012.  This remains one of the best extemporaneous speeches of all time !

When you watch this speech – think about what you know to be true, what relates to your inherent sense, and what we have witnessed together in the past six months.

Lou Dobbs from Fox Business Network nails this outline 100%:

Unrelated yet interesting – Is anyone else noticing that Fox Networks, well, actually Roger Ailes, are hedging their bets on Donald Trump?

While the primary broadcast Fox News Network is essentially a non-stop anti-Trump propaganda machine, heavily invested in the immigration amnesty angle, currently promoting Marco Rubio because Jeb cannot gain traction, it appears Roger Ailes has made a strategic decision to allow pro-Trump speaking on Fox Business Network.

A series of tweets from candidate Donald Trump toward the Republican Party of Virginia have many wondering what’s going on.

It would appear Mr. Trump, and/or the Trump Campaign, has become aware of the RPV intentions to force Virginia voters to swear an loyalty oath (statement of intent) prior to voting in the upcoming primary.  We Provided The Leaked Documents In November

Virginia is an interesting state when it comes to the Republican Party and conservative voters.  Partly due to the vicinity to Washington DC, and party due to many of the professionally republican living in the state, the hierarchy of the political party apparatus is blue-blooded GOPestablishment yet base of the voting electorate are vulgarian minded conservatives.

This historical antagonism has led to exceptionally polarized outcomes; David Brat defeating consummate GOPe Eric Cantor is the most brutally obvious recently.

Here’s the full back story, the leaked documents, the loyalty oath being demanded, and some rather interesting details into who’s-who. (more…)

Donald Trump calls in to Fox and Friends Weekend edition:

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.

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 †

Since the passage of the 2016/2016 Omnibus and Tax Plan – has anyone else noted the complete and utter lack of commentary from those who were stating that only Paul Ryan would be able to steer the republic? (more…)
