It looks like Trump is winning against Fox News. In an article written by Politico today the infamous Trump-hater Megyn Kelly is quoted as saying she no longer wants to talk about Donald Trump.

[…]  “He’s a passionate man, and I think that passion has appealed to a lot of voters, and has surprised a lot of people,” she said. “I think that’s all I’m going to say.”

(Via Politico) Fox News anchor and show host Megyn Kelly, who has been lambasted by presidential frontrunner Donald Trump since the first Republican national debate, said she was done talking about her feud with the candidate during a one-on-one discussion with Cosmopolitan editor Joanna Coles Monday morning during an Advertising Week panel.
“I don’t want to talk about Donald Trump any more, truly,” she said after several questions from Coles about Trump’s continued criticism. “He has captured the attention of the electorate, and huge sections of the Republican base. I think he’s a fighter, and that appeals to a lot of people. That appeals to a lot of people, and when he is upset at someone, he fights even harder.” (more…)

NEW YORK – (AP) — Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Monday proposed eliminating income taxes for millions of Americans, and lower rates for the highest-income earners, as part of a plan he said would grow the U.S. economy at a pace not seen in years.

Trump’s plan for an overhaul of the U.S. tax code would eliminate federal income taxes on individuals earning less than $25,000 and married couples earning less than $50,000. He said those individuals would receive “a new one page form to send the IRS saying, ‘I win.'”
Trump’s plan would also disproportionally benefit wealthy earners by lowering the highest income tax rate from 39.6 percent to 25 percent, and businesses by cutting their tax rate — from major corporations to mom-and-pop shops — to no more than 15 percent. (more…)

The BLM movement has been well documented to include some of the most anti-social, hate-filled elements of the Occupy crowd; only BLM one comes with specific violence toward police and law enforcement.
(TPM) – Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) called on Americans to focus on racial justice and expressed her support for the Black Lives Matter movement in a Sunday speech at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate in Boston.
Warren referenced the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s (D-MA) focus on civil rights issues and said, “If his life and death had a meaning, it was that we should not hate but love one another; we should use our powers not to create conditions of oppression that lead to violence, but conditions of freedom that lead to peace.”
She said that since the Civil Rights Act, the United States has not come close enough to equality.
“Fifty years later, we have made real progress toward creating the conditions of freedom — but we have not made enough progress,” she said, according to her prepared remarks. (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 †

I’ve never noticed before that Jake Tapper has a weird way of not looking at the interviewee when asking questions:

“You shall not pass” – So say the people of Finland as they turn away “refugees” trying to make their way into their country.  Remarkable similarities to when the feds were trying to ship the illegal aliens around the U.S.  Communities blocking the passage.

FINLAND – More than hundred people gathered on Saturday in Torneå to protest against immigration. YLE’s reporter, Jessica Stolzmann, reports that there were many Finnish flags and people of all ages in place.
Just before 13 o’clock the participants formed a human wall on the Finnish side of the border between Sweden and Finland.
– We are opposed to so many asylum seekers coming to Finland. They have come through lots of safe European countries before they reached Finland, and they should have stayed there, said a middle-aged couple to YLE, during the demonstration. (more…)

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness — That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government…

And then you have those powerful entities, the adverse interests, who seek to retain their personal benefit within the construct of a corrupted political system.

If you were to define Wall Street you would not be able to separate various entities who are operating entirely to retain power, influence and personal benefit, at any cost.
Certainly not the least among them Rupert Murdoch (Fox, Fox Business Channel, National Geographic, FX; the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, TV Guide; Barron’s and SmartMoney; book publisher HarperCollins; film production companies 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures and Blue Sky Studios), and the various international business interests of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, President Tom Donohue, and a host of high-finance Hedge Fund Managers who are working earnestly to control a vulgarian uprising amid the electorate.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Lobbying Efforts 2014/2015:

• Promotion of federal Common Core education standards.
• Maintain Obamacare without repeal or adjustment.
• Comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty.
• Trans-Pacific Trade Deal Approval.

These legislative priorities are not just the goals of the self interested billionaire class of connected power brokers, Wall Street.  No, like ObamaCare, these goals are antithetical to the best interests of a nation.  Freedom is lessened as a consequence of their passage.
Both House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell have facilitated the pathway to passage for these legislative priorities.  While Wall Street purchased insurance policies by way of political representatives to aid the facilitation. (more…)

When Chuck Todd questioned Hillary Clinton today about her pandering to the audience based on poll-tested political expediency, she remarked as follows:

Even with an ankle monitor the DNC will insure her election !

Here is the latest news:

Conner is at home now. Conner, his mother and father, and his sister and brother are all together again for the first time in a couple of weeks.  Menagerie says it was wonderful to see them all together and so happy.

Menagerie reports that Conner is breathing normally, no panting, and he looks really good. She feels much better after seeing him, holding him, and giving him a bottle. As her husband said on the way home “For the first time since that kid’s birth, I feel like everything might be okay now.” I guess we won’t rest easy until the next echocardiogram but it all seems good.

Conner is still taking medication, and he isn’t yet out of the woods, but there is reason to be optimistic.

Menagerie says:  I am touched by how many people feel a connection with our littlest Treeper.
