Today is September 30th, the final day of fiscal year 2015 for the federal government. Tomorrow, October 1st, begins the first day of Fiscal Year 2016.

Despite the Republicans controlling both the House of Representatives and the Senate, there is still no federal budget for the fiscal year beginning tomorrow.
Instead of a budget, the Republicans have chosen to advance yet another “Continuing Resolution” (CR), and yet another insufferable debt ceiling increase, to fund federal spending for 2016. A massive slap in the face to the conservative electorate that gave the Republicans majorities in both chambers.
The last federal budget was signed into law in September of 2007 by President George W. Bush. Since that time the federal deficit has exploded due (in no small part) to the 2009 trillion dollar “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act“, commonly known as the “stimulus bill“, that has been embedded in the baseline of federal spending and re-spent every year for the past seven years.
Seven trillion dollars in federal deficit spending specifically because there has never been a budget since Fiscal year 2008.
Both Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, and Speaker of The House John Boehner, swore to the base of the party, if they were given control in November 2014 they would return to “regular order”; regular budgetary order.

They Lied !

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 †

Back in 2009/2010 Zuckerberg and Obama were discussing the use of Facebook for the Arab Spring objectives, so this latest revelation comes as no surprise.
(CNBC) German Chancellor Angela Merkel was overheard confronting Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over incendiary posts on the social network, Bloomberg reported on Sunday, amid complaints from her government about anti-immigrant posts in the midst of Europe’s refugee crisis.

On the sidelines of a United Nations luncheon on Saturday, Merkel was caught on a hot mic pressing Zuckerberg about social media posts about the wave of Syrian refugees entering Germany, the publication reported. (more…)

It was obvious early this morning that something was up.  There was a tremor amid the Dark Force as Team Clinton came out with an announcement that she would support a change to ObamaCare that would kill the Cadillac tax on union healthcare plans.

Obviously Hillary Clinton is trying to shore up support from various labor unions who are increasingly finding the Democrat positions at odds with middle America.
The decision by Hillary Clinton NOT TO support the Keystone Pipeline was a serious strike against her.  The decision to support the anti-American Trans-Pacific Trade deal was obviously additional blow.  In an effort to recover credibility Hillary Clinton is now stating she opposes the Cadillac Tax on union healthcare benefits.  However, it might be too little, too late.

Porter was the only one not to attend the hearing.  It appears Marilyn Mosby is leveraging Porter against the other five defendants; perhaps that explains Porter’s absence in court.

(Via Baltimore Sun) The six Baltimore police officers charged in Freddie Gray’s arrest and death will be tried separately over the course of the next several months, with proceedings against Officer William G. Porter starting Nov. 30.
The new timeline, which pushes the trials back from a previously scheduled date of Oct. 13, was established during a hearing in Circuit Court on Tuesday afternoon, where five of the six officers appeared before Judge Barry Williams for the first time. Porter waived his right to attend the hearing.
[…] The delay in Porter’s trial came at the request of the defense which said it needed time for further investigation. The delays in the five other officers’ trials came at the request of the state and was granted by Williams over the objections of the officers’ attorneys. (more…)

Florida Chamber of Commerce Poll:

• TEAM GOPe (Bush, Rubio, Fiorina) Total – 38%
• TEAM Freedom (Trump, Carson, Cruz) Total – 40%

Full Poll Data and Pdf below – North Carolina has recently been a focal point due to the GOPe (republican establishment) maneuvering the primary date/rules to support Jeb Bush.  The GOPe road map is in a state of severe flux due to Donald Trump.

Previous information on the RNC and Rule Changes – HERE

PPP’s newest North Carolina poll finds that Donald Trump is holding his ground- at least compared to where he was in the state six weeks ago.  […]  Trump’s 26% is almost identical to his 24% standing from mid-August. His 53/36 favorability rating with GOP voters is actually a little bit better than its 47/40 standing from a month ago.

The only candidates really showing any momentum in North Carolina compared to our last poll are Carson whose support has increased 7 points from 14% to its current 21% standing and Fiorina who’s gone up 6 points from 6% to her current 12% standing. With a 70/17 favorability rating Carson is easily the most popular of the GOP hopefuls in the state, and he’s also the most frequent second choice with 16% saying he’d be their back up option. (more…)
