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 †
Multiple Updates Below – Shooter ID’d as 26-year-old “Chris Harper Mercer” ♦ Last night an anonymous poster on the Website 4Chan posted a warning of an intent to carry out an attack at a Northwest U.S. Community College (CACHE HERE). ♦ Today an attack was carried out:
According to this Local report: The gunman who opened fire at Umpqua Community College in Oregon asked victims to state their religion before opening fire, according to multiple reports. An 18-year-old student told the News-Review newspaper that the gunman, after shooting her teacher in the head through a window, told people to get on the ground. He then told people to stand up and state their religion before opening fire. Twitter user @BodhiLooney, who said her grandma was at the school, said the shooter asked people if they were Christian. “If they said yes, then they were shot in the head,” she wrote. “If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs.”
♦ Umpqua Community College was/is the local college attended by Alek Scarlatos (pictured below far right). Scarlatos was one of the 3 U.S. Heroes who took down the jihadist gunman on the train in France recently. Alek was enrolled in this current fall semester (per his Facebook), however he cancelled his classes and took time off to take advantage of an opportunity and complete in Dancing With The Stars.

YouGov has published another national poll of 450 Republican Voters (full pdf below). One of the more interesting aspects to this specific poll is the inability of the Fiorina Campaign to capitalize on the beneficial media.
Thanks in part to Operation Hummingbird, Carly Fiorina was given 15% of total political airtime as measured by Newsbusters. However, it would appear the larger electorate is well aware of Fiorina’s deceptive intention to portray herself as an “outsider”.
The full 155 page poll pdf is below. However, we are also pulling out some of the key data pages so you can see the specifics of where this poll result is coming from. (more…)
When what you are is speaking so loudly, often no-one can hear a word you’re saying.
[…] The reporter, Sam Dorman from CNS News, sat in the front row of her weekly press conference and asked: “Is an unborn baby with a human heart and a human liver a human being?” As Pelosi began to dismiss the question as ideological, Dorman interrupted her and pressed her to answer.

“Listen, I’m going to say something to you,” Pelosi replied sharply. “I don’t know who you are and you are welcome to be here in freedom of this press. I am a devout, practicing Catholic. I’m a mother of five children. When my baby was born, my fifth child, my oldest was six. I think I know more about this subject than you, with all due respect.” (link)
We have continued to outline the influence of Wall Street through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, through K-Street lobbying, upon the GOPe politicians in Washington DC. Today, Breitbart has an article highlighting the Chamber’s goal again in this election cycle to protect the establishment republicans and defeat conservative vulgarians.
(Via Breitbart) While many conservatives celebrate the abrupt resignation of Speaker John Boehner, business groups backed by mega corporations are finalizing plans to neuter conservative lawmakers in 2016.
The U.S. Chamber will take the lead, planning to spend $100 million in 2016, a large portion of which will be devoted to defeat conservatives in Republican primaries.
Roll Call reports that “[s]ome of business’ top targets in 2016 will be right-wing, tea party candidates, the types that have bucked the corporate agenda in Congress.”
The $100 million the Chamber plans to spend this cycle is close to triple the amount the group spent in 2012, when President Obama was running for reelection. In 2014, when the Chamber launched its effort to attack conservatives in primaries, the group spent close to $70 million. (more…)
Unlike 2012 and the success of their chosen candidate Mitt Romney, in this election cycle we have quietly been watching them since October 2013, and we have been able to identify their GOPe road map.
As a direct result of Donald Trump, the only stumbling block they did not anticipate and the most significant wrecking ball to their entire scheme, the power-players have necessarily adjusted their scheme.
Unfortunately, many state party officials are part of the RNC program; still more are actually influenced by the Bush family tentacles (Colorado Bush/Stapleton example). And as a consequence we are working through a series of states identifying what changes to the road map are being constructed in secret.
For those who remain skeptical the latest evidence of the RNC/GOPe machinations is abundantly evident in North Carolina. (more…)
Post 2009 Citizens United SCOTUS decision, 2012 was a test run in using Super-PACs to replace campaign contributions by the electorate. The following election cycle (2014 mid-terms) took the earlier approach and injected steroids into the plan; insuring all of the GOPe incumbents were protected by Super-PAC shields.
Now in the 2016 race we are seeing Wall Street funded Super-PACs actually replace campaigns entirely. The New York Times showcases how they do it in a great expose’ of the Carly Fiorina campaign. This finance method is exactly how a big part of the GOPe road map was constructed.
LEXINGTON, S.C. — The table festooned with red “Carly for America” placards arrived hours before the candidate. Political operatives took up positions outside the front door to catch supporters of Carly Fiorina, the corporate executive turned Republican presidential contender, and gather their contact information before steering them inside to the room where she would speak.
But the table, the placards and the workers did not belong to Mrs. Fiorina’s campaign. They were there because of the “super PAC” supporting her run for president.
The Federal Election Commission forbids direct coordination between campaigns and super PACs, lest candidates effectively rely almost entirely on the huge, unlimited donations of a small number of billionaires. But in 2016, the groups are aggressively exploiting gray areas and loopholes in the rules, few of which the commission — deadlocked with its three Republican and three Democratic members — has hastened to close.

Last night Donald Trump gave an excellent interview to Don Lemon on CNN. Here’s the video (HatTip TrumpVideos):
