Donald Trump speaks in New Hampshire on the day following the debate:

Ted Cruz isn’t the only presidential candidate trying to hide his support of the globalist trade deal known as TPP.   Marco Rubio is trying a similar approach at avoidance.

It would appear that both Rubio and Cruz have recognized that not only is TPP unpopular, but their support for TPP has the potential to expose their hidden alignments with Wall Street globalists. 

This election will be won/lost around this issue – watch.

( Via Breitbart ) Marco Rubio declared the Trans-Pacific Partnership to be one of three essential “pillars” of a Rubio Presidency—is now taking issue with a Wall Street Journal news report that lists Rubio as supporting the unpopular Obamatrade pact he voted to fast-track.

The Wall Street Journal article observed that: “Still backing the trade legislation are the party’s establishment wing candidates: Sen. Marco Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida and Govs. John Kasich of Ohio and Chris Christie of New Jersey.”

Indeed, it was in the very pages of the Wall Street Journal that on April 29th Rubio wrote: “We must rebuild our own military capabilities, conclude and pass TPP, and renew our support for freedom and the rule of law in Asia.” (more…)

Red Circled Candidates All Support Trans-Pacific Trade Agreement (TPP)

HR2146 (TPA “Trade Promotion Authority” or “Fast Track”):  This House Bill #2146 originating April 30th ’15, became the vehicle for passage of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal.

HR2146 was originally introduced in the House of Representatives as a bill to address issues with retirement funds of federal law enforcement officers and firefighters.

In April of 2015 Senator Ted Cruz and House Ways and Means Chairman, Representative Paul Ryan, supported TPA being added to HR2146.  Their support was most notable when they posted the following Op-Ed which appeared in the Wall Street Journal on April 22nd: (more…)

Notice the emphasis in the first sentence.  The testimonial for candidate support from the campaign manager Berry Bennett is to quote social media metrics: “Facebook friends, twitter mentions and google searches” – something very odd feeling about that.

If Ben Carson’s actual Facebook following are “real people” (4.7 million according to his Facebook page) and not purchased “likes”, then why does he not show up with greater support in the post debate polls?

Drudge shows Carson in 5th place with 8,000 votes (less than 5%) in their post debate polling.   The Time Poll has less than 4% support for Carson; and around 9% at The Blaze.

IMPORTANT INFO – We are going to be flying directly into the heart of the explosive issues within various political candidates and their supportive constructs.  It is fully anticipated that much of the content will be disconcerting to many, and exceptionally challenging for those holding historic sensibilities of accepted political norms.

With that in mind I am specifically informing readership that site administrators have been requested to delete and moderate comments -with exponentially increased severity- for anything off topic to the substance of the posts.

There will not be secondary warnings or requests.

I am also requesting site admin to begin removing comment ability from those noted to be consistently ignoring links and following the available supportive data within posts prior to commenting.   It is with full understanding this approach may effectively result in two-thirds of current comments being dropped that I am making this request.

The ongoing goal is QUALITY not quantity.  Informed comments/contributions from people who are genuinely interested in discussing the substantive issues results in thoughtful discussion.  There are large and significant stakes being discussed and serious adversaries who would like nothing more than to create distractions and confusion.

Intellectual dishonesty is simply not acceptable – it has traveled beyond annoying, it’s distracting, often intentionally so.  Readers/contributors who do not use the resources, links and research tools presented -yet consistently deliver factually flawed information- will be identified and where appropriate commenting capability removed.

Additional guidelines are available HERE.

Thanks in advance,

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 †

45 minutes prior to the end of the Republican debate the owner of Fox Broadcasting and Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch, tweeted this out:

It would appear the Wall Street goal to use Marco Rubio as a vessel toward a GOPe nominee delivering a Clinton/Bush ticket is clearly underway.

Open Discussion Thread

Something is missing amid all of the punditry opinion regarding the recent 5th CCA ruling upholding the injunction against Obama’s implementation of Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program (“DAPA”) FULL BACKSTORY HERE.  Something missing which is more serious than the injunction itself.

What is fundamentally missing is several levels of seriousness.

First the underlying 26 state lawsuit has never been argued.  When the states went to federal court to sue the White House (executive action) they asked for an immediate injunction blocking implementation.  The states argued two points:

#1) That if DAPA was allowed to move forward with his executive amnesty there would be irreversible harm to the states.  Granting a new legal status to illegal aliens, including work authorization, would be financially harmful and also a bell impossible to un-ring/reverse if the underlying lawsuit was settled in their favor.

#2) If DAPA was allowed to be implemented those who were charged with executing the Executive Order would be violating law and thereby subject to a condition of punitive action against them for refusing to break the law.

Two very distinct issues, both of which Judge Andrew Hanen accepted as factual in his decision to issue the injunction.   He actually did so brilliantly.
